What would also be interesting to tackle is the use of the audio visualization for purely scientific purposes. Here is one example how an object very difficult to imagine, namely a black hole, can be mapped to a sound representation:

Wow.. This is truly beautiful and fascinating! The only thing is that it’s hard to explain its practical application. But it's definitely worth trying!

Agree that the practical applicability is questionable. It is exciting to think whether the sound data viz can be of practical use to complex scientific data, for which traditional graphical approaches are essentially incomplete...

I love to think about future people with more complex methods of perception. for example, synesthetics, seem to me very interesting example. What if we all could see sounds and hear data?

Right, and also learn new things by listing their sound visualizations 😜
