The sun continuously generates sound waves. These solar sounds are recorded by observing vibrations of the sun's surface and are used by solar seismologists to study the structure and dynamics of the sun's interior. Inside the sun huge vortexes of hot plasma produce sunspots -- concentrations of strong magnetic field that are often bigger than the Earth in size. The magnetic energy of sunspots is a source of flares and solar storms that affect the Earth's space environment and life. Observations of solar sounds help us to learn about the mechanisms of the sun's magnetic activity, monitor the solar subsurface weather, and predict formation of sunspots. Some of these sound waves are captured inside the sun causing the whole sun to resonate, providing also information about the central energy-generating core.
