The Sound of PH1's Light Curve

 Planet Hunters Q2 Kepler light curve for eclipsing binary KIC 4862625
 that PH1 is transiting.  

 Edit: You can listen to PH1 sonification here.

Forum Talk member TroyW put together a sonfication of the Kepler light curve for KIC 4862625 (quarters 1-9) that the new circumbinary planet- PH1 is transiting through. This is what the light curve sounds like. You can hear the light drops. Though harder to discern, PH1 may possibly be heard just after the main eclipse drop, but before the secondary eclipse- two short audible tweets for PH1 and the secondary. The cricket- like sounds in the background are star variability.
