Gaseous Music

Reply to Thread

Gases have resonant radio frequencies. Earth's atmosphere is mainly
composed of nitrogen gas, hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, water vapor, and
CO2. If an audio signal is transmitted at the resonant radio
frequencies of the above gases, will the music be heard?

 

Oh shut up.

 

Reflections and resonations are passive modifications that will not
produce new notes.

There are audio frequency electrical noises in the atmosphere, though.
I can't remember the name of them. You can pick them up on mountain
tops using a whip antenna and a sensitive audio amplifier with a very
high input impedance. Oh, and hold still too. Friction generates a lot
of audio frequency electrical noise.

 

bring out the KY

 

Yeah, and a lot of 'em are due to electrical storms, so be sure there are
some nice beefy local thunderstorms....

VLF, dawn chorus, possibly caused by change in ionisation levels

 

Depends upon how you define music. I produce some very resonant
gases after eating apricots.
