This is said to be radio noise picked up by Voyager as it approached Jupiter. I'll admit to a little initial skepticism about that - it sounds a little too smooth to be noise and the publisher is listed as "BRAIN/MIND Research", not NASA.
But at the very least, it is interesting background noise.
Going to a page on the NASA site called Sounds of Jupiter, we hear something that sounds more natural and less polished.
"Audio of Voyager 1 Crossing Jupiter's Bow Shock" (ie. where the solar wind is stopped by Jupiter's magnetic field) : here
"Audio of Voyager 2 Passing Through Jupiter's Outer Magnetosphere": here
"Audio of Jupiter's Lightning Taken By Voyager": here
There is still a lot of beauty to be found, but it's the rough beauty of the seashore, not the polished beauty of the art gallery. What raised my suspicions with the Youtube piece was the lack of anything that registered as static. If the sound in the video was based on something from Voyager, as advertised - at this point, I'm not saying that it was or it wasn't - at the very least, it was cleaned up considerably.
Fake or not, it still works as ambient music.
