Looking around there are a lot of things that don't make sound. A row of books on a library shelf, a placement of tide barrier rocks at the end of the local beach or even a crack in your driveway.
What would they sound like?
Use a cellphone camera and take a photo showing the traceline edge of the subject choosen. Software isolates the edge line and feeds it into a audio player.
Is that really the sound of my bodies shadow line profile? Yes but I did have to do some manipulative scaling, dear.-- wjt, Jan 28 2017 Why https://simonchadwi...dcamp.com/album/whyAlbum of music created as pen-and-paper sonograms [pocmloc, Jan 30 2017] Phonopaper http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/phonopaper/App which plays sonograms via the camera on your phone.

Makes me imagine a composer drawing sonograms directly as an artist on a tablet. A synesthetic rendering of music.
My idea would feed into the Virtual ANS software as it processes photos to make a single sonogram waveform. The photo subject usally being an edge or traverse of some object that will render a waveform.
Because the form would usually be short, (the Grand Canyon might give a longer stitched waveform) I imagine,the sound bite would be hard to compose with.-- wjt, Jan 29 2017 //Makes me imagine a composer drawing sonograms directly as an artist on a tablet//
Well yes, that is the whole point of the virtual ANS software.
<link>-- pocmloc, Jan 30 2017 ANS was still a score writing device primarily. Not that a piece of art or a piece of nature can't be sounded out with the image processor to audio for fun.-- wjt, Jan 31 2017 random, halfbakery
