The Earth is Crying Out—and Scientists have Recorded it

The AKR radio waves are reportedly 10,000 times stronger than the strongest military signal and "would overwhelm all radio stations on the planet."

Psalm 19 starts out: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line (sound) has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world."

Those several verses seem to fit quite well with one of the latest discoveries in space—Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR)—Earth's "noise." The AKR consist of radio waves created above the earth, when solar particles interact with our planet's magnetic field.

According to an article on Space.com, scientists have known about the radio waves since the '70's, however a new recording of it reveals just how cacophonous it sounds.

Although the Earth-noise is constant, it is not heard on Earth thanks to the planet's ionosphere; the charged layer above the atmosphere. The AKR radio waves are reportedly 10,000 times stronger than the strongest military signal and "would overwhelm all radio stations on the planet."
