[music playing] [choral music playing] A sound is but a wave in a medium, solid, liquid or gas.

The music you're hearing comes from our sun.
A humble yellow dwarf, emitting energy from x-ray to radio like breath exhaling form its ionized elements, From hydrogen to iron.

[music playing] Earth lies in the path of a constant current of energized solar particles like a stellar breeze striking a extraterrestrial weather vane.
