Much more about the idea at the link. There have been many explorations of using sound to 'visualize' data, though in my own experience I have never used the idea. In some cases has been used as a demonstration of what data sounds like. An example of a 'hand free' and 'eyes free' alert or interaction. But useful?
MIT researchers use AI to turn the coronavirus into a haunting melody
The music offers unique insights into how the virus works
An AI system that turns the coronavirus‘ structure into music could help scientists spot details about COVID-19 that a microscope would miss.
The AI-generated tune is an audible representation of the coronavirus’ “spike” proteins, which spread the infection by poking out of the virus and binding to human cells. These spikes make the surface of the virus look like a crown — or “corona” in Latin.
The spikes are formed of protein building blocks called amino acids. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) turned these structures into sounds by giving each amino acid a unique note in a musical scale. .... "
