What does the housing market sound like?

This audio track transforms 25 years of 30-year fixed-rate mortgage data into sound. Each note represents a monthly rate from January 2000 through today, rising and falling in tune with economic shifts, housing booms, crashes, and recoveries. From the early 2000s bubble to the 2008 financial crisis, pandemic-era lows, and the sharp rises of the 2020s—you’ll hear how rates have shaped the American dream of homeownership.

🎧 Best experienced with headphones.
🗓 Data Source: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey
🔁 One note per month | 2000–Present

Let the market tell its story—through music.

The Sound of Mortgage Rates (2000-Present)

A scratch rendition of Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. Just me and guitar. Recorded directly into a Mac (which should be obvious).

I'm based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Years ago, I busked through Europe for four months and lived on what I earned. Now, I just play for my friends.
