Thanks for the replys. What he did was take the atomic spectral data for each element along with line intensity data from the National Institute of Science and Technology and dropped each light frequency 40 octaves and reconfigured the data as sound files. This allows us to hear the information as a result. If you click on the "What is this?" tab at the top of the page, you should be able to gain a better understanding of this cool project. Please let me know if the information there allows for your better understanding, or if you have any further questions. - Randy

Hi, I would like to share my friend Josh's latest research project. It is an audible periodic table, where one may hear the sound of the light from each element! It visually looks like a standard form periodic table, yet where the atomic numbers would be seen, there instead is a visual of the light frequency for the element. By clicking on a specific element, you will then be able to hear it's sound. Essentially, he took the atomic spectra frequencies and intensities from each element and downshifted them forty octaves into auditory range. Playing the table is somewhat like playing chords on a piano. For example, you can hear a progression up to Chlorine and a resolution at Neon http://spectraphonictable.com Feel free to check it out and if you would like to support his research, it is for a good cause. It is not often we see new information like this shared publicly. He also appreciates feedback, and you can contact him via his website. I personally like the sound of Gold, which is your favorite? - Randy
