Scientific paper

Acoustic and seismic spectra of booming sand dunes that emit low-frequency musical resonances when the dunes slump or undergo forced shearing are analyzed and described. Previous studies of booming, squeaking, screeching, and roaring sands with pure outputs resembling those of musical instruments, or more turbulent acoustic outputs such as the sound of low-flying propeller aircraft, are reviewed. The possibility of similar phenomena on the moon (thermal moonquakes) or nearby planets (Mars, Venus) is considered on the basis of planetary topography, soil mechanics, and atmosphere.
