Nothing since a radio telescope isn't a fucking speaker.
- I once saw a video of a person touching a grounded sausage to the metallic structure of an AM radio tower, the transmission was audible as the sausage was being zapped. If there's a merely conductible thing grounded near the tower, I guess it'll sort of "coil whine" (a well-known phenomenon when electrical components physically vibrate due to the passage of current), converting to sound whatever it's being transmitted at the moment. This includes the tower structure itself, if the electrical grounding isn't properly done or if there's some grounding leak. Otherwise, a grounded thing touching the tower would suffice to convert the transmission into sound, if those radio-telescopes use AM modulation (I'd guess they do, because AM modulation is known for reaching longer distances than FM).
  
  AM doesn't reach further than FM, it's just that historically we've been using AM at lower frequencies, and these travel further. You could transmit with FM just as well on these frequencies, and get the same range.
  These radio telescopes don't transmit anything at all, they listen to radio waves coming from the cosmos. Much like a normal telescope doesn't transmit light.
- Aw boo! Where is your sense of fantasy!?
- you must be fun at parties
- I'm actually surprised you got so many up votes for that level of technical correctness. This is a tough room

the THX intro sound
- Turn it up!
- Pathetic, everyone knows that the BF3 intro will shake any rust off any car near by.
  
  Mech Warrior III has something to say about that.

Darude - sandstorm
- What song is that?
  
  Dududududu Dududududu dududu
  
  At first it goes like synth and then it is dudududu dudududu dudududu dudududu dudududu dududuuddududuuud shiuush dududududududuuuuddudddududududddududdudududduududududu
  
  Darude - Sandstorm
  
  This one!

The 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.
- there's one thing that always gets me out of any bad situation, I just sing pump up the jam...
- Pump Up the Jam is an anagram of 'Jump Up the Pump'.
  This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.
  Techtronic's home planet, Earth, consists of 70% water.
  If you isolate the individual drumbeats from this song and arrange them in a circle, it unlocks a cheat mode that allows you to pass through solid surfaces at will.
  
  When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.
  The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

There is absolutely only one choice, no need to even think about it it's this.
- That was awesome! I never heard this band before!
  
  Him? Him I excuse. But you? Pure unadulterated evil.
- Well played. I'd forgotten all about that :-)

Darude, Sandstorm

You guys remember this?
- dang you!
- Well, we're no strangers to love

Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic

Let S be an endless string which is a concatenation of every binary counting in succession, starting from zero all the way to infinity (without left zero-padding):
S = 01101110010111011110001001101010111100110111101111...
(from concatenating 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, and so far)
Let S' be a set of every sequential group of octets (8 bits) from string S, which can be represented as a base-10 number (between 0 and 255), like so:
S'_2 = [01101110, 01011101, 11100010, 01101010, 11110011, 01111011, ...]
S'_10 = [110, 93, 226, 106, 243, 123, ...]
I'd create an audio wave file whose samples are each octet from S'_10 as 8-bit audio samples, using a really low sampling rate (such as 8000 Hz or even 4000 Hz).
That sound, that particular sound, is what I'd transmit to the cosmos: the binary counting, something with a detectable pattern (although it'd be not so easily recognizable, but something that one could readily distinguish from randomness noise).

"Come here! I will help you conquer this world. Our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems. We need your force to intervene."
(Not really, but...)
- Calm down there, Ye Wenjie…
- Unexpected Three Body Problem reference
  
  Was it really that unexpected with this image?
- Calm down there, Posadas...

Prodigy - Diesel Power
Or maybe the brown note. If it was ever going to work it'd be through this.
- Let’s be real, anything by The Prodigy on a speaker that size would fucking slay
  
  Bigass subwoofer, blast Smack My Bitch Up, feel your soul exit your body.

- Praise the code! 🤘

Ram Ranch.
- God. Damnit. I just managed to be able to listen to Gorillaz without just randomly singing ram ranch. Now it's back on my mind

Supernaut
A cover of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut", by Al Jourgensen of Ministry's side-project 1000 Homo DJs with vocals by Nine Inch Nails vocalist Trent Reznor.
- Can't up vote this enough.

Seven Nations Army
- Reminds me of this video of a cruiser playing it on its horns! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTlTxFio6DY

numa numa all day long

Ready to die by Andrew W.K. The song ending with “You just heard earth music. This was a warning.”

So What'cha Want by the Beastie Boys
- I was thinking Sabotage. Turn that scene from Star Trek Beyond into a reality.
- followed by intergalactic.
  FOLLOWED BY INTERGALACTIC RIGHT?
  
  That would sound amazing

Fuck the Pain Away
- I am aware of the teaches of Peaches

Megalovania

Goldeneye Surface level PTSD. Enemies beyond your sight horizon due to fog/snow, no map overlay for relative positioning, memorization was the only way to not get lost.
- And we loved every minute of it
  
  That sniper rifle was so dope, but the accuracy of CPU players with an AK like across the map and then /gaspingsoundwhenhit was so frustrating lol

Pink Floyd - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

- If you haven’t, give nick mason’s saucerfull of secrets a spin.
  Their version of controls for the hearth that i heard live was absolutely transcendental.

I'm really surprised nobody else posted this. My first thought was Goldeneye 64's snow level soundtrack. 😮 Like I could hear it just looking at this image lol.

Sleep now in the fire
- You trying to melt the surrounding trees?

Royalty free Christmas music
- Okay Satan, calm down.

This
- I wish i could upvote that twice and then play it right after this...

Because boobs- psychostick

Everybody dance now!
- We work hard, and we party hard!
- everybody's pants now

I always want to play Queen on my big speakers

I could think of a few Ministry tracks, but I'll go with N.W.O.
https://youtu.be/imqvLToWH7k?si=QIw2KiyEcSKGgKmf
- Good pick
- I was going to go with KMFDM WWIII, but I like your choice too.

Kirin J Callinan - Big Enough
- Only the yelling part.

Ok ignoring the fact that this isn't a speaker, if it was and the question is what would I play on a speaker this size, then probably this.

We Interrupt This Programme
(Yeah, I'm oldschool like that)

Imperial march?
- That's my ringtone for when the wife calls my mobile!

"In 2008, RT-70 was used to beam 501 messages at the exoplanet Gliese 581c, in hopes of making contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The messages should arrive in 2029." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-70?wprov=sfla1
Nice

I mean, if it WAS a speaker?
The Only Thing They Fear Is You.

Y'all are way too nice. I'm pumping a 60Hz square wave right into that thing at max volume.

whoomp there it is
