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:
“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
