Andrew Williams, an artist based out of the University of Leicester has discovered a few of these sounds of space through his exploration of satellite data from as far back as 2001. Plasma passing through the Sun and electrons bouncing off Earth’s atmosphere were amongst his subjects.

[T]he plasma moving through the Sun had to be sped up 40,000 times to get it into the range of human hearing. The electrons hitting Earth’s atmosphere are actually a compilation of data recorded by a cluster of satellites.

When listened to all at once, they actually resemble a chorus of birds or raindrops landing on the forest floor.
