Introduction

Technically, whistlers propagating below the local plasma frequency are not radio waves, but plasma waves propagating through the local charged plasma medium. Is this technical detail too nuanced? VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant Spacecraft Section

The list of "relevant spacecraft" is out of context and should be removed. Drdan14 (talk) 23:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Plus many of the spacecraft listed have never recorded whistlers. VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Audio example

An audio example would be nice, so we can hear what they sound like. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 02:59, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are many freely-available examples at http://space-audio.org/ or video versions at https://www.youtube.com/user/VoyagerPWS. Shall I make a novice attempt to include one of these? VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
