This is the sound of a Mars rover, sort of. There are no microphones on the rovers (why not?!), but this is the data from their accelerometers, sped up until it is in the audible range, about 1000x. That means that in the full hour-long file you can get of rover Opportunity at NASA’s site is actually 2143 Martian days long! (That’s Jan. 24, 2004 to Feb. 2, 2010 on Earth.)
