How do sounds on Mars differ from sounds on Earth? From wind gusts to the crunching of Martian soil under rover wheels, tune in to some recordings from the two microphones aboard ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover. 🎧

you a fan of space music?

Sounds on Mars are way different than Earth. That's 'cause Mars has this super thin atmosphere, so sounds don't travel as well. The wind there, you can hear it, but it's kinda eerie and high-pitched, not like our regular winds. Then there's the Mars rovers, like Perseverance, and they make these cool mechanical noises as they move around and their wheels crunch the Martian dirt. But you're not gonna hear people talking or cars honking 'cause there are no humans there(Not yet atleast). So, overall, Mars has its unique quiet soundscape because of its skinny atmosphere and alien vibes.

@NASAPersevere Sounds very similar to being under water

@NASAPersevere Mars basically sounds like you’re under water

@NASAPersevere Super cool!

@NASAPersevere Thanks for sharing

@NASAPersevere Somehow the first thing astronauts will hear on Mars is someone informing them about their car's extended warranty.
