SEATTLE – Did you ever wonder what the Big Bang sounded like? Physics Professor John Cramer at the University of Washington has spent a chunk of his career trying to recreate what the ecoustic experience was like back billions of years ago when the universe was formed.

Press play to hear what Cramer believes the Big Bang probably sounded like.
