Sound of the Big Bang

This recording of the sound of the Big Bang was created by physicist John G. Cramer from the University of Washington. Mr. Cramer took the measurement data of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from ESA's Planck space telescope and converted the energy frequencies into audible sound. He multiplied it by 10^26 so we could hear it. The 100-second recording represents the sound from about 380,000 years after the Big Bang until about 760,000 years after the Big Bang.

I wish people from my generation could appreciate this type of music

[myempire]

Wow I remember this sound it was like the year 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 B.C I was sitting in my chair and this sound brings so much memories during those times.

[dracenheard]

I expected a really loud explosion sound that could definitely break your ear drums

[aidans_invasion]

Shout out to the person who recorded the literal beginning of the universe lol

[randomplayz]

Is it just me or the not because the sound makes me a bit uneasy

[greaser]

This is a weirdly overwhelming sound. Also recipe for a sick beat drop.

[sevenbender]

This sound seems scary at first, but listen to it with quality headphones and it's actually very comforting. It can't possibly hurt you

[zheeshandurrani]

This will go down as the longest fart any scientist has ever recorded

[DisturbedGeneration]

The fact I can zone out and it sounds like it's coming from inside my head is crazy..

[adyn]

imagine just chillin in 14, 000, 000, 000 BCE and just hearing this one day

[daynal]

This was extremely unnerving for me but I couldn't stop listening.

[jamesgoode]

This sounds like the beginning moments of a DMT experience, during such experiences I feel the deepest bass beginning in the deepest part of my gut and continuing to raise pitch until it feels like it explodes from the top of my head and taking with it my essence to a place and time I won't even attempt at explaining.

[radioactivebeverage]

dude the universe was experiencing some blue death or some shit. sounds like when my pc shuts down suddenly and does this terribly screech and adds ":(" on the blue screen. lol

[dids]

Interesting how the sound sort of moves around your head? Felt like it was on the left side of my head and then went over it and went to the right. Sounds like a plane anyway lol.

[LilinRavenholm]

Wow. That sound really enters the skull. And it honestly sounded extremely familiar, but I know that this is the first time I actually listened to it. Serious Deja Vu.

[swmj]

this triggers my fight or flight response

[zacharybond]

I literally felt myself shaking. Even though it would not actually sound like this; hopefully, it still sounded powerful.

[shardshori]

Hearing this sound hurts my jaw and gives it a numb but painful feeling

[ezequielignaciosalgueiro]

oh what memories, it was summer when this was playing on the radio

[nevernever]

I remember that sound, thats my childhood
