Speakers on Venus

[kimbo]

Not really about speakers, but mildly interesting........


Andi Petculescu-Department of Physics, University of Louisiana and his mate have created a 'atmospheric filter' that will allow you to hear what sounds would be like on some extreterrestial objects.

"The file repeats a well-known soundbite three times, spaced a few seconds apart. The three parts correspond to passing the soundbite through 1) the "Earth filter," 2) the "Titan filter," and 3) the "Venus filter." The "Mars filter" is much too attenuative due to the tenuous CO2-based atmosphere, so I didn't include it. (The Venus part is relatively weak but also the most interesting, so you might want to increase the volume.) "

and scroll down to the bottom for the link to the sound file. Shame it is only three seconds long.....

(I wonder how you would optimise a speaker for Venus ......Aluminium cones would be in order!)
Enjoy!
