The electrophonic sounds from the aurorae are better established than
those from meteors, because the audio frequency electromagnetic
output of Aurorae are well established. As experiments have shown there
are plenty of mechanisms to convert some of the energy of such
waves to sound, and hence allow one to hear it.
