Along the lines of the Sounds of Stars and the Rings of Saturn, here are the sounds of Earth.
Via Earth Sounds:
"January 19, 2001 -- If humans had radio antennas instead of ears, we would hear a remarkable symphony of strange noises coming from our own planet. Scientists call them "tweeks," "whistlers" and "sferics." They sound like background music from a flamboyant science fiction film, but this is not science fiction. Earth's natural radio emissions are real and, although we're mostly unaware of them, they are around us all the time."
Title link takes you to the NASA online VLF receiver. You can stream the sounds in real time or check out the samples of tweeks, whilstlers and sferics on the page.
This one via Jon. Also check out Monolake and surround sound thunderstorms.
there is a very nice double VLF cd about, it sounds better than the stream, no hum
