Voyager 1 and 2 plasma wave instruments detected whistler-like activity when passing Jupiter in 1979. I celebrated Juno’s 2016 arrival at Jupiter by composing Sferics using recordings of whistlers, sferics captured by my VLF receivers, white and pink noise generators from Moog IIIP and Aries synthesizers and my shortwave radios.
