Radio waves / sound waves

This article seems confused on what its topic is. Chorus is a kind of electromagnetic emission which, when the frequencies are reinterpreted as audible sound waves, sounds like "a series of chirps, whistles, and quasi-musical sounds in predominantly rising tones". The key being electromagnetic waves - these are not sounds. Yet there are numerous mentions of sounds produced by the aurora in the article. Audible sounds coming from an aurora is a completely different topic than chorus emissions. I don't know how much attention this page gets, so for the moment I've commented out the parts about sounds (which includes the entire 'Explaining/Understanding' section), so it won't show up on the saved page but it's still all there.
