This is cool, and creepy at the same time. Apparently, it was recorded from the Voyager missions. Anyone confirm this? Anyways, it makes you feel the power of Jupiter.
 
I couldn't find the NASA 'video' I was looking for, but this will do:

I think Earth and Saturn are particularly interesting.
 
There are some signals sent back by the Cassini probe from Saturn's magnetosphere which are even creapier than this. I have a wav file of them somewhere. Any planet with a strong magnetosphere, including Earth, exhibits this bevavior. You can hear someof Earth's radio noise with a short-wave radio tuned to an unused frequency.
 
Interesting. Anyone able to find the sounds of Mars, Venus or Mercury? I'd like to see how those compare to Earth.
 
Mars doesn't have much of a magnetosphere, so I wouldn't expect as much noise. Don't know about Venus or Mercury.

I heard on a certain show way back that on some occasions you can hear from Jupiter on your radio too. What frequencies would I be most likely to hear from it on? I have a basic shortwave radio.

Chills strait down my spine.

Well now I know what I will be listening on the way to work everyday.
Morning Show with Jupiter and Earth.
 
Huygen was quite tunefull:-

Wow. No idea why but that is all really quite moving for some reason (especially through my new Sennheiser headphones :D ).

A lot of it did remind me of sounds in various Pink Floyd tracks, does anyone know if they sampled some of these? Or are planetary bodies just up there on a musical par with Pink Floyd?!

Cheers for posting all that, really has made my day!
 
This would make an interesting effect for Orbiter Sound, as you enter the Jovian magnetosphere...
Here is a Saturn radio sound file:
Okay, so it isn't aliens. But it is creepy.

Titan looks a lot like Mars.
 
In the book 2001: A Space Odyssey, Clark wrote that Dave Bowmann would sometimes just sit in Discovery's cockpit and listen to Jupiter's radio noise with the speakers turned way up. He wrote that before the Voyager missions had been launched.

That Huygen video is amazing, but I'm confused. I don't quite understand what I'm seeing, and why does the last image show a picture of a lunar footprint on the left side of the image field?
 
Yes confused me as well, must be some sort of montage. Don't know where it came from or who did it.
I was searching for much simpler signal from Huygens, just the radar return, audio only, and found that.

Edit: Should have paid more attention to the very first frame, lots of clues there...

Possibly some sort of comparison to judge the distance to the horizon.
