Over the past ten years there has been a large increase in the number of projects using sound to represent astronomical data and concepts. Motivation for these projects includes the potential to enhance scientific discovery within complex datasets, by utilizing the inherent multidimensionality of sound and the ability of our hearing to filter signals from noise. Other motivations include creating engaging multisensory resources, for education and public engagement, and making astronomy more accessible to people who are blind or have low vision, promoting their participation in science and related careers. We describe potential benefits of sound within these contexts and provide an overview of the nearly 100 sound-based astronomy projects that we have identified. We discuss current limitations and challenges of the approaches taken. Finally, we suggest future directions to help realize the full potential of sound-based techniques in general and to widen their application within the astronomy community.

在过去十年中，使用声音来表示天文数据和概念的项目数量大幅增加。这些项目的动机包括通过利用声音固有的多维性和我们的听力从噪声中过滤信号的能力来增强复杂数据集中的科学发现的潜力。其他动机包括创造引人入胜的多感官资源，用于教育和公众参与，让盲人或视力低下的人更容易接触天文学，促进他们参与科学和相关职业。我们描述了声音在这些背景下的潜在好处，并概述了我们已经确定的近 100 个基于声音的天文学项目。我们讨论了当前所采取方法的局限性和挑战。最后，
