8 Creepiest Broadcasts Ever Caught On Tape

2. The Sounds Of Saturn

Frankly, if someone asked you to imagine what space sounded like, this is probably a pretty close approximation. So what are these eerie noises picked up by the Cassini space probe? Are they some weird Saturnalian-language radio station? The engine noise of an alien spaceship? Well, they're actually the audio representation of the intense radio wave emissions, mainly originating from Saturn's auroras near the poles.

The radio frequencies emitted by Saturn are obviously well above human hearing, so these audio recordings have actually been shifted downwards by a factor of 44, and the original 27 minute recording has been condensed to two minutes. So, whilst it's still true that in space, no one can hear you scream, they might be able to pick up the radio waves from your body and convert them into a spooky soundscape.
