Sounds of Earth

The "Sounds of Earth" are audio recordings containing natural sounds, human voices, music, and other signals from Earth, created to represent human civilization. These recordings were carried into space aboard the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts in 1977, intended as a message for potential extraterrestrial listeners. They include sounds like Earth’s wind, animal calls, and greetings in multiple languages, encapsulating human culture and natural environment. The goal was to provide a sonic snapshot of Earth’s diversity and activity, serving as both a time capsule and a gesture of communication across the cosmos.
