I've long suspected that with very powerful microphones we might be able to hear all sorts of fascinating sounds from tiny sources of life, from insects on down. I'm aware of some contact microphone recordings of ants, such as [1] and [2], but I'm talking about much more sensitive recordings.. for example, what is the sound of an ant's leg moving (not just its footstep).. or the sound of its internal organs? What does insect sex or feeding sound like? There are many thousands of different insect species, and each of them could sound different. Just like electron microscopes have given us amazing views of insects that were unavailable to use through the naked eye, I suspect the soundscape on the microscopic level could be just as fascinating. Musicians could also use it as raw material, and process it to make it even more interesting. The sky is the limit.
