Sonification either speeds data into hearing range or maps data to sound features.

Evidence

But consideration must also be given to the signal itself, since (a) it might be the raw data itself, perhaps with the sampling rate being changed to place it within the human hearing range (data can be captured at any sampling rate, which could be well below or above what is audible, such as weather data that might be captured once every 24 hours or engine telemetry data that might be captured once every microsecond), or (b) the measured data could be used to change a feature of the sound to be used such as its pitch, vibrato, loudness or a filter setting. — David M.
