This has to be one of the neatest uses of the internet. Apparently these cosmic recordings have been uploaded to soundcloud:
What do extraterrestrials listen to? Well, we don’t know for sure, but when NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2 into the Solar System in 1977, the space agency equipped the probes with the ‘Golden Record’, intended for any aliens (or future humans) who might one day discover the recordings. The record is a phonograph compilation of greetings from Earth in several languages and other accompanying audio designed to introduce the listener to the sounds of 20th century humankind.
Those recordings have now been uploaded to Soundcloud so anybody with an Internet connection can experience this unique time capsule for themselves (no alien-ness required), knowing that the distant originals meanwhile are drifting through space somewhere.
Let’s find out more and listen to the NASA soundcloud on page 2

Wonder what flip side looks like
Why does the pic look like the Death Star?
I remember the launch which was one of the reasons space exploration was exciting to me at the time.What Nasa also did in the 80s was have an 800 number you could call just as the voyagers were leaving our solar system so that one could listen to its bleeps before it was out of range.Not that it ever has become out of range.But it was interesting.
