Any measurable data can be turned into sound to reveal its patterns.

Evidence

Sound is a complex basis for communication in terms of speech and music, and advantage is taken of this in the field of “sonification,” which is making use of audio as a means of communicating changes in measured data. … Any measurable data in any field has the potential to be sonified, such as telemetry data from space vehicles or Formula One cars, data from devices that monitor health functions, weather data, data from historical records, geological data and data relating to everyday living. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 2687
