The sound of a tree
What would the trunk of a tree sound like if a cross section of it were played like an LP? With his creation Years, Bartholomäus Traubeck attempts to answer that question by using a turntable, PlayStation Eye Camera, a stepper motor to control the arm, and computer running Ableton Live. As you’ll hear in the video above, the rings of the tree trunk, as interpreted by this piece, create an eerie and ominous piano track that sounds like it was taken from psychological horror film. Who knew trees were so emo? [via Creative Applications]

Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck has created musical masterpieces, by playing trees.
He created a record player that translates the different colors and textures of tree rings into music. Rather than use a needle like a record, sensors gather information about the wood and turn them into piano notes.
Every tree sounds vastly unique due to varying characteristics of the rings, such as strength, thickness and rate of growth.

Sound als Waffe
Handys piepsen, Staubsauger lärmen, Flugzeuge donnern: Geräusche können unangenehm sein. Aber nicht nur das - sie können sogar als Waffen genutzt werden, warnt ein Designforscher auf der re:publica.

Spooky Space 'Sounds': real sounds from the NASA
Soaring to the depths of our universe, gallant spacecraft roam the cosmos, snapping images of celestial wonders. Some spacecraft have instruments capable of capturing radio emissions. When scientists convert these to sound waves, the results are eerie to hear. In time for Halloween, we've put together a compilation of elusive "sounds" of howling planets and whistling helium that is sure to make your skin crawl.
Hear the sound on the nasa Website: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/features/halloween_sounds.html

Early Speech Synthesizer (1939)
Considered the first electrical speech synthesizer, VODER (Voice Operation DEmonstratoR) was developed by Homer Dudley at Bell Labs and demonstrated at both the 1939 New York World's Fair and the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. Difficult to use and difficult to operate, VODER nonetheless paved the way for future machine-generated speech.
Robot voice from 1940
A long time before Daft Punk and Kraftwerk: The sonovox from the movie "You'll Find Out", in year 1940.
Amazing device that gives voice to musical instruments. The Sonovox consists of one or two louspeakers placed on the throat that play the source sound. The performer whispers the words while the speakers stand in for the voice box. Used for the talking train in Disney's Dumbo, uncountable radio promos, a tube-in-the-mouth version "Talk Box" was used by Frampton to make his guitar sing, and all-electronic "Vocoder" versions are still used in current pop music.

Erfindung der Jukebox
Es hätte ein Diktiergerät werden sollen, doch dann kam Musik raus: Vor 125 Jahren begann die Karriere eines schrankartigen Kastens namens "Jukebox", der per Knopfdruck Ohrwürmer erzeugte - tödlich, zumindest in einem Fall. Von Katja Iken

Die geheimen Töne unserer Elektronik
Wir kennen alle das Rauschen von Computerlüftern oder das Pling beim Einschalten von Leuchtstoffröhren. Aber selbst die anscheinend geräuschlosen Elektronikgeräte singen leise Lieder. Ihr könnt sie nur nicht hören. Zumindest nicht ohne Hilfe. Redditor TheDanielHolt hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Elektronik ihre Betriebsgeräusche zu entlocken. Manche summen und einige verursachen eigentlich gar kein Töne sondern magnetische Interferenzen. Er verwendet eine Canon 600D mit der 18-55mm-Serienoptik, ein Sony F-V5 Mikrofon und den Mixer Vivanco MX 800. Das Mikro wird in den Mixer gesteckt und der wiederum in den Toneingang der Kamera. Letztlich wird der Mixer so zu einem Verstärker. Zum Glück können wir dieses ganze Fiepen, Rauschen und Pfeifen mit unseren Ohren nicht hören. Ich glaube, wir würden irre werden.
