These latest recordings, which were made using the InSight lander's seismometer, feature sonifications of the seismic 'noise' picked up back on March 6, 2019.
The audio has been enhanced as otherwise it would be too quiet for our ears to hear.
According to NASA, the audio was produced by "wind gusts, InSight's robotic arm moving around and 'dinks and donks' - friction caused by parts inside the seismometer moving against each other as the temperature changes."
You can listen to the clips below (headphones are advised). The audio starts at around 00:25s.
