      Probably. If astronomers can convert the radio noise stars make into audible sound - and they can - then I don’t see why we couldn’t pitch adjust background noise to human-audible levels.

      I’m not 100% on the pitching down bit, but key would be to get a mic that has those frequencies in its range.

        You also need to have a sampling rate that’s equal to 2x the highest frequency you want to capture.
