Screech. Clank. Bang. Driving on the planet Mars is noisy. How do we know that? The Mars rover recorded sounds on the rocky, red planet.

People on Earth listened to the sounds. Woosh, Swoosh! Zap, Zap, Zap.

One recorded the rover’s six metal wheels grinding, hammering, and scraping along the rocky soil on Mars. It was a surprise to hear how noisy Mars is!
