Mid-thread note:  Please know I didn't mean to tweak anyone when I

The microbe-movie soundtrack question I am facing is: do I record actual
nature somehow?  Or do I *imagine* what the microbe realms might sound
like and thus create the soundtrack artificially?    Here is a brief
example of a medical illustration soundtrack of a t4 Bacteriophage
targeting e. coli bacteria:

The sound is kind of cool but is it "accurate"? ( If even that matters?)
Yet, what is the "sound"/waveform jostle of the nature matrix at nano-scale=
?

Maybe this is the realm of esthetics and who even cares if they insert a
red hawk call when a bald eagle is on screen and flying overhead in the
movies?
