Phonofauna: Sound-based life

A questionable perspective on life based on sound frequencies, part 1 of 3, from a person who understands the physics of sound and radio/magnetic spectrum, but not much.

@@@

As technology progressed many things changed in the life of the human species, and these changes included not only a better lifestyle and interspatial travel, but also a greater understanding of the very essence of the universe, this in part thanks to the Hole, and partly thanks to contact with other civilizations.
The multiformity of time, the presence of pocket wigglers, the TRUE laws of physics and the real origins of the Big Bang. Few mysteries remained, all too large for something still this low on the Kardashev scale, but one of those discovered was... Unusual.
Every now and then, on the advanced sentient computers, strange radio frequencies appeared, invisible interferences, both in times of peace and in times of war, some repeating and others not, the same, similar or totally different. Originally it was thought that they were signals emitted by various pulsars, some kind of electromagnetic event occurring in the plasma clouds or even a potentially frightening increase in the size of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, but it soon turned out to be something else: LIFE.
Phonofauna, literally "Animal made of sound", was the name of that strange kingdom of life alien to any other discovered so far, capable of functioning without death and without matter: pure frequency of ultrasounds connected to each other by radio waves.
The phonofauna does not have physical bodies, nor a genome, but rather clusters of repetitive sounds with variable intensity and a shape dependent on the density of what they move in. Genetics is precisely non-existent, yet composed of variations in the electromagnetic field that compose them linked to the environment in which they are present (material for the third and [for now] last [planned] post of the series).
The classification of phonofauna is difficult and complicated, mostly left to AI, as its lifestyle is invisible to humans and many other sentient species in the cosmos. Reproduction occurs through splitting (of a single individual or even many) when they hit jagged solid surfaces (such as branching trees, railings or poles against which they crash, being cut into many pieces), locomotion through radio waves and surfaces capable of transmitting sounds , metabolism through the processing of the kinetic energy they themselves produce. They have variable colors, based on mathematical-sound interactions [material for the second post], and, probably, they have real shapes that no one will ever know.
Taxonomy occurs through the classic phylums, families and species, but with very derived suffixes. Here are the examples.
Phylum=Pitch
Class=Frequency
Order=Hertz
Family=Gram
The species is a more complicated matter, which we will talk about later.
The Pitch indicates the main height of oscillation of the sound on the magnetic plane in the universal background radiation, allowing its characterization as low or high. Its nomenclature includes a simple code number that reflects in the primary plane of the Hertz their audibility when reproduced by an advanced technological device, with the nomenclature present as A (high), G (low) and M (Medium) followed by the date of identification.
For example: A-22/4/2259-70
Frequancy indicates the speed of locomotion maintained by a sound in the average density obtainable between water (1000 Kg/m3) and air at sea level (101325 Pa).
Hertz indicates the hertz threshold within which the sound oscillates at a given instant of time, based on Picth. The number released, which being inaudible to the human ear is always either less than 16 or greater than 20, is used as a name. This is followed by a numeric code that separates that frequency from others.
The Gram is a variable number that indicates the seconds it takes for sound to expand in a specific closed area capable of generating echo. It is negative if the sound takes more than a second to expand, positive if it takes less than a second to expand and even if it takes a precise or approximate second of maximum five tenths to expand.
The species is based on a generic name formed by the fusion of Greek or Latin words, which are based on the form taken on the screens by the sound or on the characteristics of the sound itself, and is composed of the initials of those words followed by the number of times a similar frequency was picked up and finally from the year in which it was picked up. If two frequencies are equal, the number of times it was detected and the year of discovery are made the official name of the creature in question based on the year and number of times of the first detection.
For example: (Astrichora=Stellar choir) AsSte—239-2247
A description method requires the following parameters: visual length of the composition frequency, speed of splitting against sharp or perforated surfaces, shape assumed in a stable manner for a longer time (drawing), number of times bouncing off a solid surface in one second, propagation speed of the average density between water (1000 Kg/m³) and air at sea level (101325 Pa), kinetic metabolism (speed through which they absorb the self-produced kinetic energy in a kinetic-phonic autotrophy mechanism. This metabolism is perceived via variations in the radio waves surrounding the living sound under examination).
Many points of this description can be obtained from mathematical calculations or natural perceptions, except for the speed of splitting which is very often discovered thanks to animals reproduced in the laboratory.

I want to let you know that I'm very bad at calculations, so the numbers below will be reported randomly.

Please don't complain in the comments and understand the intellectual limitations of my person.

Pitch: A-6/11/2243

Frequency: 23

Hertz: 11

Gram: Even

Species: AsyThy—22-2231

Discovered in an iron mine on the dwarf planet Nessus following strange sounds picked up through the microphones inside the miners' helmets, it is 1.54 cm long if transliterated by the sound duration, it splits in 0.3 seconds, it can bounce with an average of 12 times per second on the rock (understood as Nessus rock, the same rock for which it seem to be specialized in bouncing), propagates in 0.09 seconds and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 5J (Joules [symbol J] are the unit measured of energy).



Pitch: A-6/11/2243

Frequency: 23

Hertz: 11

Gram: Even

Species: SchIc—03-2254

Discovered while bouncing between the asteroids of the Kuiper belt, it is quite unique in that it travels on low frequencies making itself thin to increase in speed, but despite this it maintains a stable rather sharp shape.
It is 32 cm long if transliterated from the sound duration, it splits in 0.8 seconds (exploiting dips and depressions in asteroids for splitting), it can bounce with an average of 1 times per second on the rock (condition due to the distance between an asteroid and the other, which this frequency identifies in the spatial plane through still unknown means, perhaps some type of radio-magnetic perception), propagates in 20 seconds and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 70J. The last two characteristics, although apparently too high for a creature of its type, are justified. Propagation is an unimportant thing in an environment without propagation surfaces such as space, and due to the long distances it is forced to travel to bounce from one surface to another it generates a large amount of kinetic energy which, rather than leave it wasted, he prefers to consume.



Pitch: A-6/11/2243

Frequency: 23

Hertz: 250,000

Gram: Positive

Species: PhoPhon—01—2233

Heard only once from a mining ship that was traveling towards Alpha Centauri at sub-light speed, its very classification is based on vague similarities just mentioned with the picth A-6/11/2243, and not much is known about it, if not what the on-board instruments picked up. Transliterating the sound distance it is 9000 meters long, and the sound itself can only be compared to a bloop that is a thousand times higher pitched mixed with a woman's cry and a child's cries. The generic name derives from this frightening composition.



Pitch: M-17/9/2240-31

Frequency: 9

Hertz: 56

Gram: Even

Species: DnA—12-2227

One of the few known, the DNA genus consists of frequency sequences that repeat on a double helix scale, many of which are not heard more than once, and therefore highly contested as true living sounds. This is one of the three whose existence is certain, and it was detected while bouncing among the photons emitted by a solar storm from a distant yellow dwarf.
It is 22 cm long if transliterated from the sound duration, the splitting speed is unknown, it can bounce with an average of 1200 times per second on the photons of the solar storms in which it was perceived, it propagates in 30 minutes (the very low propagation speed is which is common for sounds of this type, and it is probably due to its living in environments completely devoid of atmosphere or water) and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 2J, due to the small distance between two photons.


Pitch: M-17/9/2240-31

Frequency: 9

Hertz: 63

Gram: Positive

Species: MegSym—07-2240

First heard in Neptune's clouds, it is 3 meters long if transliterated by sound duration, splits at an unknown time, can bounce an average of 300 times per second (in Neptune's highly dense gaseous clouds), propagates in 2.2 seconds and consumes an amount of kinetic energy equal to 3J.


Pitch: M-17/9/2240-31

Frequency: 89

Hertz: 22

Gram: Positive

Species: PaMa—819-2476

The most common frequencies ever captured are series of repetitions of sounds that are mostly the same or with little variation between one sound segment and another. It is no coincidence that the sound present here has been observed 819 times, and is one of the best studied given that can be heard echoing in the Himalayan mountains. It is 10 cm long if transliterated from the sound duration, it splits in 1 second (using sharp rocks, branches and even artificial constructions for splitting), it can bounce 30 times per second on a variable series of materials (common characteristic of repetitive living sounds is their ability to bounce indifferently off many different types of material), propagates in 7 seconds and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 22J.


Pitch: B-29/4/2275

Frequency: 68

Hertz: 33

Gram: Negative

Species: MatRom—38-2242

The low frequencies of living sounds are strange even for living sounds. Regardless of the picth to which they belong, living sounds have developed various "body plans" in a phenomenon of convergent evolution, however low frequency sounds have two characteristics in common wherever they have evolved by convergence: they are very slow and tend to take on dimensions huge. It is not known whether this is some example of derivation in their evolution, but it has been noted how frequencies of this type bounce more or less uniformly on every type of surface (although many have specialized secondarily to something else), producing little kinetic energy but metabolizing it so perfectly that we can extract every exotic nutrient they need to grow. Further studies need to be carried out on this matter; in general the gram of low frequency sounds is always negative.
Captured for the first time in unclear circumstances, it is 45 meters long if transliterated by the sound duration, it splits in an unknown time of seconds (exploiting depressions and depressions in the asteroids for the splitting), it can bounce with an average of 7 times per second on each surface, it propagates in 10 minutes and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 8J.


Pitch: B-29/4/2275

Frequency: 68

Hertz: 55

Gram: Negative

Species: DefDe—54-2268

Captured for the first time in a system peripheral to human colonies, it is 69 meters long if transliterated by the sound duration, it splits in 19 seconds, it can bounce with an average of 3 times per second on each surface, it propagates in 12 minutes and consumes an amount of kinetic energy equal to 8J.


Pitch: B-29/4/2275

Frequency: 68

Hertz: 55

Gram: Negative

Species: MaI—98-2267

Rather common, it roams South American jungles and, despite being a low-frequency, gram-negative living sound, appears to have specialized on a specialized body frequency for bouncing off various types of wood.
It is 23 meters long if transliterated by the sound duration, it splits in 4 seconds (speed dictated by the high presence of tree obstacles in the biome it inhabits), it can bounce with an average of 2 times per second on each surface (5 times per depending on whether that surface is wooden), propagates in 3 minutes and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 19J.


Pitch: B-29/4/2275

Frequency: 44

Hertz: 121

Gram: positive

Species: GraChi—23-2210

A more unique than rare example among living sounds with low frequencies, this living sound is the only one so far discovered with a positive gram, with the others closest to it all having medium gram. It was detected for the first time around a black hole, and according to some theories partially confirmed by various experiments it is thanks to the gravitational alteration generated by the black hole that this living sound is able to have a positive gram, a situation very similar to how the aforementioned low living sounds with medium gram inhabit places of high gravity.
It is 206 meters long if transliterated by the sound duration, it splits in 25 seconds (generally against maceomaterials attracted by the black hole in question such as asteroids and dwarf planets) it can bounce with an average of 44 times per second (to keep it alive through The kinetic energy generated through interactions with the magnetism of the black hole, while on solid surfaces it propagates uniformly 0.04 times per second) propagates in 1 minute and consumes a quantity of kinetic energy equal to 0.1J.
