OK, I give up. What's the secret to finding earth likes? I haven't found a single one. You sound like you can spot them from the system map before you've even scanned them!
I generally check out every blue planet, and the sounds help too.

pretty much somewhere between "omnivore" and "carnivore". I don't really bother with ice and rock balls, and won't bother going too far out for High Metal Content planets, though I'll fly 500k Ls if something even looks like an Ammonia World, Water World or Earthlike.
Finally, I do have one little spanner in my own system to mess with me. For every 500-1000Ly jump route, I force myself to scan every single thing in the last system I land in. No matter what. Sometimes you get "lucky", and it's just a few objects. Othertimes...

A combination of these has steered me right so far.
You can hear them if you turn the volume up and zoom in on the system map. It take a few seconds to fade in but ice worlds, for instance sound windy. The metal rich ones have this high pitch shimmer sound and the earth-likes you can hear birds and forest stuff. It's real faint but it's there.

Sigma Orionis and Alpha Centauri?
to sum up the planetary sounds thread:
If it's a gas giant:
If it's silent its an ammonia life or helium giant
If it's bubbling/trickling its a water life or water giant
If it's doing anything else, skip it.
If it's blue:
If it's bubbling its a water world
If it's making static and bird chirps and other crazy stuff, its an earthlike
If it's brown/gold:
If its silent, its an ammonia world.
Everything else has its own sound you will get to know over time if you want but those are the big ones.
