If the one and only Elon Musk hired me to curate content for a golden record style project, here are three examples of what I would include.

Sounds of the earth’s natural landscapes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uRqV9sFxnLDde2bIzPYXovXyt4yz2HL4/view?usp=sharing

This might include waterflow from ocean waves, rain, or river rapids, the howl of winds or wolves, the buzzing of a bee or a crow’s call, or an block detaching from our arctic ice packs.

Sounds of earth’s urban environments: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ImE3LYm2JOOrP0N85WM-Ryxl4_jslYmQ/view?usp=sharing

These sounds might detail the honking traffic or sound of sirens, the rush of people with their distant chatter, the shouts of construction workers, the beeping of a cargo truck in reverse.

Across the Universe – The Beatles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90M60PzmxEE&ab_channel=TheBeatles-Topic

A song by one of the, if not the most, popular band from the 20th century, and one that is arguably one of the most influential in the direction of popular music that we still hear today.

Each example represents aspects of life on earth, hopefully allowing for a basic understanding of earth. The natural landscapes demonstrates the environment which the humans live upon. The urban sounds show our daily life innovation on the natural world. The Beatles song shows creative expression and I believe the lyrics are fitting for not only human life, but also the very nature of the project.
