In thinking about the sounds I started pondering whether the UA/UP and M5c are vibrating mechanically (literally making sounds which would be unfortunate in a vacuum) or vibrating in an EM sense and our ship board computers are simply transcoding them into audible ranges.
Assuming the latter (probably doesn't really matter but that makes me happier) I started wondering if the colors (blue, red) were of any significance (in terms of wavelength shifts) and more importantly what could make a tidally locked planet vibrate in an EM sense. Theoretically it shouldn't, once it's tidally locked there's no rotating core. That implies it's an object and not the planet itself.
I'm not there at the moment but one thing I might try (that I have elsewhere) is simply drift out of supercruise and listen to the planet at various Lat/Longs and see if there's any variation as a function of position. (apologies if this has been posted above but the thread is simply moving too fast for my limited time to keep up).
