Glaciers are in constant motion. They crack and break and twist and flow.
This sheer power of nature is also a sonoric one. Embed small microphones into the glaciers and beam the moanings of the ice giants to the town below.
I liked "Whale Sounds, Vol. 2", but "Glacier Concerto 1" may be nice
too.

The songs of an endangered species. |
|
| |
yep. As if it is lamenting its own disappearance... |
|
| |
It'd take a while to listen to. |
|
| |
I think the glacier songs might be very
low frequency. You might need to
speed them up to make them audible.
Down where the icebergs calf, I bet
there is a lot of bergish moaning and
wailing. |
|

Surprised this hasn't been done, frnkly. Bun. |
|
| |
According to Shackleton, icebergs cracking can release audible sound like massive thunder - truly powerful and immensely loud crashes, cracks, moans, bangs, etc. |

would probably mess up my dreams. |
|
| |
To achieve this you could install an array of large
contact mics throughout the glacier and have each
mic feed into a corresponding speaker in a large
circular room nearby. |
|
| |
The room would be set up as a kind of communal
space, so people from around the town could
gather there to read, meet, or just listen to the
glaciers. |
|
| |
To keep the sound interesting and also not scare
anyone or damage the speakers, the signals from
the mics would be compressed and limited to an
extent that they would still sound natural but also
audible even at times of little movement. |
