These sounds have been recorded and have helped scientists discover that sound travels on Mars differently than on Earth. As reported by Engadget.
In a recently published research journal, it is said that sound travels more slowly on Mars. This is because the atmosphere of carbon dioxide on Mars is thinner than on Earth.
On earth, sound normally travels at a speed of 1,234 km/h. But on Mars, scientists have found that low-pitched sounds travel at around 864 km/h and high-pitched sounds at around 899 km/h.
“The sound of an orchestra on earth is heard at the same speed, either low or high. But on Mars, if we are some distance from the stage, the sound will be delayed,” said researcher Sylvestre Maurice.
Sound also travels shorter distances due to the planet’s thin atmosphere. On Earth, sound is difficult to hear from about 64 meters away, whereas on Mars the sound begins to falter after only 4 meters.

“So chatting on Mars will be more difficult than on Earth. With this finding, it provides an idea of how much a Mars-like atmosphere will change our perception of the world,” said Sylvestre.
