Niigata, M6.6*, 2007,  recorded at 5 stations across Japan, mixed to stereo. From HINET stations, about 60 minutes of data, 100 sps, plays back in 16 seconds, so sped up about 225x.

Niigata 2007 M6.6 earthquake

Same as https://soundcloud.com/seismicsoundlab/niigata-2007-m66-earthquake but each station played back separately, so you can hear the attenuation and dispersion.

Niigata M6.6 2007 earthquake, played at 5 stations

Same as https://soundcloud.com/seismicsoundlab/niigata-2007-m66-earthquake but played at 1/4 of the speed (sped up about 56x instead of 225x)

Niigata M6.6 2007 earthquake, played at about 56x faster than real time

Same as https://soundcloud.com/seismicsoundlab/niigata-2007-m66-earthquake but played at about 28x real speed, or 2800 Hz sampling rate.

This Friuli recording was played on the news, RA1, and archived by Prof. Karl V. Steinbrugge (UC Berkeley) Magnitude 6.5, May 6, 1976. The song is Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", from "Wish You Were Here", 1975 album.

Sonified seismograms of several earthquakes from The Geysers geothermal field in Northern California. These events were chosen by unsupervised machine learning using our method "SpecUFEx" described here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/5/eaao2929. Each set of 10 come from clusters of events with similar acoustic properties. These clusters are found to represent different periods in the injection history of fluid into a compartment in the geothermal reservoir, before (C1), during (C2) and after (C3) the initiation of second injection well (Prati 29), representing a shock to the system.

Two sequences of sonified seismic data from The Geysers geothermal field, Northern CA, from the small area around Prati 9, 29 injection wells, from 2008-2015. Each event is sonified at about 10x increase in sampling rate, and then added to a soundtrack in its correct relative time to the others. (It is NOT 7 years of continuous seismic data sonified). "_AllEvts" has a much lower cutoff threshold for included events than "_biggerEvts". The origin of the haunting screeching sounds is unknown, but is related to a sudden increase of water volume injected into the reservoir as they turned on Prati 29 for the first time.
