Interesting Things with JC #1782: "Why Sound Would Break Apart on Mars" – A human voice travels through Mars’s thin atmosphere, but its higher frequencies move faster than its lower ones. Over 100 meters, the higher frequencies arrive about 17 milliseconds earlier, while the atmosphere absorbs them more strongly with distance. The voice grows quieter as its frequencies separate and fade.
