What does the stock market sound like?

This is fascinating. A composer has put the stock market into sound.
Clayton runs the melodies sung by the four voices through an algorithm that interprets the day's market performances as echoes and reverberations. Each character is linked to four or five stocks that reflect the deity's cosmic role.

Interesting idea, thanks. However, I would expect more of a bump and grind. :happy

The analogy of what the market must sound like is that of the folks who ride a roller coaster. The ups are full of giddiness and the downs are of pure terror.

Good luck.

Our hearing changes as we get older, so naturally the stock market sounds different too.

To older investors, it sounds like this.

But to younger investors, it sounds more like this.
