'One audio clip produced from radio waves that NASA's Cassini spacecraft detected near Jupiter was described last week by the Los Angeles Times as sounding "like a troop of howler monkeys battling underwater." '
'The waves from which the new audio clip was developed were in the thin solar wind of charged particles that fills the space between the Sun and its planets. Cassini detected the waves Jan. 1 at a distance of 10 million kilometers (6.2 million miles) from Jupiter. ' from the jpl, nasa.

Said to be the loudest land animal, but who knows what they sound like submerged?

If your browser loads the page, but tells you that you need a plug-in to listen to the clip (and you actually do have quicktime installed,) you can download (rather than stream) the file from this link. (This will let you save the file as well, although you could save the streamed version too by going into your browser cache and copying the .wav file to some other place on your drive.)

Howler monkeys? Sounds like crickets to me.
