Each gravitational wave event detected by LIGO and Virgo has been converted to audio. The sonified version maps the whitened detector strain data directly to sound. The heterodyned version is the same data pitch-shifted up by one octave. The template is an audio rendering of the waveform model, also available pitch-shifted. Files are hosted at data.daniel-williams.co.uk/sonification.

Sonifications produced using open-source code. Gravitational-wave data from GWOSC.
