So Neptune is the farthest planet from Earth. And apparently they converted electromagnetic waves to radio waves since no sound exists in space.

Kinda of cool with headphones

reminds me of earth songs

if you listen to them natural with a vlf reciever
you get a natural mix of sferics, tweeks and whislers.

the sounds are averaged and plotted with a Sid Reciever
to monitor solar flares, earth magnetics, and the northern lights.

Electromagnetic 'waves' make no sound in space?

How did you arrive at this?

If you sit in a tin can (with life support of course) and put on your headphones while sitting in space.

Electromagnetic 'waves' make the same popping, crackling, almost intelligent, wistles.

As they do when you listen with the same ears here on earth.

Because one can not hear this sound with ones ears.

Does not mean the sound does not exist.

Tools make the ears bigger indeed.

Nope,it is still converting Electromagnetic Waves to Soundwaves!

Aye...

Refracting 'waves' through the lens of a tool that we might hear what we see.

Much like a telescope allows ones eyes to become larger.

There is an actual website with live feed from space that you can listen to for rebroadcast signals. When anomolies are found and confirmed you can report it to the space agency in charge of it. They found a few but no further rebroadcasts been found. Apparently 3 years ago they had a massive spike out of a new nebula system that was off the charts, lasted 2 hours but died soon after though they get random spikes just not as large.

Want to hear something interesting...

Listen to the Northern Lights with an AM radio.

If you adjust the dial you get some most fantastic 'music'.

I simply listen and adjust for quality.

Sorry I have never actually checked to see the numbers on the dials.

The sounds are fascinating.

if a man farts in space and there is no one around to hear or smell it does it actually smell and make sound?

Well the gas itself would conduct the vibrations of it being expelled, so sound would exist even if no one was within the gas to hear it.

The smell, well same thing. If that gas did end up being detected by a old factory sensor it would probably be deemed to smell bad . . . but you never know people can be weird like that . . .

Was I not supposed to take this seriously? Doh!

Yeah I was confused. I thought no sound existed in space.

Sound cannot propagate through vacuum.

Listen to the wind from the sun today and tonight with an am radio.

You will hear the sound created on the solar surface generated a few days ago.

Sound can indeed 'propagate'...

If one listens to the dance of the wave.
