WHAT IS DATA SONIFICATION?
"Sonification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data. Due to the specifics of auditory perception, such as temporal and pressure resolution, it forms an interesting alternative to visualization techniques, gaining importance in various disciplines. It has been well established for a long time already as Auditory Display in situations that require a constant awareness of some information (e.g. vital body functions during an operation). Sonification as a method for exploration of data and scientific modeling is a current and ongoing research desideratum.
One of the first successful applications of sonification is the well-known Geiger counter, a device measuring ionizing radiation. The number and frequency of audible clicks are directly dependent on the radiation level in the immediate vicinity of the device."
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DATA SONIFICATION IS THE WARNING ALARM A PILOT HEARS WHEN A MISSILE IS LOCKED ON AND APPROACHING. BUT HERE IS THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE:
