A Dutch article about this [1] said:
> According to the Chinese space agency CNSA, the sounds are caused by the interaction of different metal parts.
In the video, they also quote the person leading the Mars programme:
> The sound is made by wheels rotating on the surface of the Mars rover. Basically, the sound of different metal objects bumping into each other.

- pixelpoet 5y agoHmmm, I've heard plenty of metal things bumping into each other, this sounds more like 0.1 bits/s sloshy MPEG audio. What I'd like to know is, is this actually how it sounded there, or are we mostly hearing compression artifacts?
- throwaway4good 5y agoWhy would it be compression artifacts when they are also sending hires video signal? This page has some simulations: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/ https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/
- JKCalhoun 5y agoYeah, I thought it sounded like flanging.
- tacticalmook 5y agoIt should indeed sound distant and muffled with the composition and temperature of Mar's atmosphere. Saw a neat pseudo-documentary on this not too long ago: https://youtu.be/OeYnV9zp7Dk?t=551 https://youtu.be/OeYnV9zp7Dk?t=551
- exporectomy 5y agoKind of ridiculous to demonstrate what things sound like while playing eerie random background music over it.
- seaorg 5y agoWould you say Dutch news is more objective than American news?
- Vinnl 5y agoNo, it's just the news I happen to follow because I am Dutch, and it contained the info they were asking after.
