It's interesting but if they seriously stop after just 2 km I am not sure if that would help much. I mean if you are 2km or closer you are basically right at the ruins anyway.

I was there as well until 15 minutes ago... Might return.
I've seen the ruins by daylight several times. depends on at what time you visit it. So it is possible to find one of the new sites by daylight
Cheers worked for me.
Ah, so you decide on something while still in space, align and then drop to the planet on the same heading. Not sure how accurately I could keep that heading for a complete loop
That's true, I didn't make myself clear. These sounds are unique to this site. So I think they play with the idea of the network that has been talked about. When sat on the site, you can here other noise, like machines or movement. But with the items, it seems to have an effect. Maybe, the items, or at least the relics could help in some way? Theory, that's all.
EDIT: Could the noise in this audio be morse code? It sounds like it could.

On approach, ruins can be heard from ~10km. From my experiment, that's without any items on board.
Picking up relics at site may change the sound.

Did you have any of the ancient items in your ships hold?
Yes, 2 of each
I've been trying to keep up with all this and here are a few thoughts..
Idea #1 It's interesting that all the systems we were given are in the sky and not occluded from the alpha site (known ruins location). Should we assume then that line of sight is important? If so, in each system, on each planet identified (with orbital/rotational period sync) has someone tried to locate the lat/long which would be on a direct line of sight from the alpha site through the planet surface to the core? I'm just thinking it's another location worth checking before doing a complete sweep/scan of the surface.
Idea #2 Could the number of obelisks be important, if we take the count of obelisks in each grouping, could one represent # of suns, # of planets, # of moons that sort of thing. I suspect the # of obelisks in each group are too many for this to work.
Idea #3 Looking down on the alien ruins when you look at the obelisks you get a strange pattern between them, these might represent something.
Happy hunting commanders!

If you don't mind spending the time, it may be worthwhile to find out if having different artifacts in your hold make different sounds - or if you need more than one.
If I get the chance tonight i will
So there are 10 obelisks in the top, larger circle in the original ruins, and 6 in the bottom, smaller circle. Could this be interpreted as the 6th moon of the 10th planet? This works in Synuefe XO-P c22-17. The rest of the obelisks could represent coords somehow as well
Thanks. Finding out whether you need to have more than one item is quite important, because of the impact on jump range and the need for cargo racks.
No, we arent. The mission is repeatable.
I have been thinking about this as well and I'm trying to find a logic in the ruins and the placement of the obelisks and even the placements of the orbs, caskets etc. if they have any connection to planets. If we assume that each of the 4 relic towers corresponds to one other ancient side, then we might be able to find out more.
As i scanned the system this planet stood out to me as being a possible starting point!
