Sounds Associated With Auroras
Aalto University has conducted a study by recording static-like sounds related to the Aurora Borealis, in Finland (2012). These findings manifested that the low sounds were correlated to the visual presence of the Aurora Borealis, and that these sounds were produced approximately 70 meters above ground. It is suggested that these sounds come from the solar particles associated with creating the aurora.

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:
“These were the sounds that issued from the wigwams of this country before Columbus was born; they have not yet died away; and, with remarkably few exceptions, the language of their forefathers is still copious enough for them. I felt that I stood, or rather lay, as near to the primitive man of America, that night, as any of its discoverers ever did.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
