That's an interesting question. I don't think sound itself is affected by gravity, but the medium thru which sound travels is. So, I'd guess, for a given medium, more gravity means more compression means more density, ergo sound propagates differently if the medium is more dense. Right? So, whatever increased density does to sound is your answer, I'd think.

"The Galileo atmospheric entry probe was based on the design of the large probe of the Pioneer Venus multi-probe.

It was released July 13, 1995, when the main Galileo spacecraft was still about 50 million miles (80 million kilometers) from Jupiter.

The probe hit the atmosphere at 6.5 degrees north latitude and 4.4 degrees west longitude at 22:04:44 UT Dec. 7, 1995.

The probe returned valuable data for 58 minutes as it plunged into the Jovian cauldron. It endured a maximum deceleration of 228 g’s about a minute after entry when temperatures scaled up to 28,832 degrees Fahrenheit (16,000 degrees Celsius).

The probe’s transmitter failed 61.4 minutes after entry when the spacecraft was about 112 miles (180 kilometers) below its entry ceiling, evidently due to the enormous pressure (22.7 atmospheres).

Data, originally transmitted to the main spacecraft and later transmitted back to Earth, indicated an intense radiation belt about 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) above Jupiter’s clouds, few organic compounds, and winds as high as about half a mile per second (640 meters per second).

The entry probe also found less lightning, less water vapor, and half the helium than had been expected in the upper atmosphere"

There is an amazing YouTube channel called melodysheep, I highly recommend you check it out. There is even an episode called the sounds of space that goes into what you would hear on different planets, I think they cover Jupiter as well. My favorite is, time lapse of the future. This series literally is better than anything I've ever seen on TV, incredible animations and graphics. Check it out if you're bored.

It is a gas giant. No place to "land" it is constantly swirling with storms thicker and higher than our atmosphere. Forget our squishy bodies, we don't have spacecraft that can withstand the radiation or survive the pressure. There is a reason we can't hear more. We don't have equipment that could survive it, and even if we did, it would be limited by what the equipment could reproduce in the way of sounds in an atmosphere that is not equivalent. So at best it would be a simulation based on and limited by our technology.

And forget hundreds of years, even over millenniums, why would our bodies "adapt" to be able to handle environments we never will come in contact with? We live on a planet that is 3/4 covered in water and we haven't "adapted" enough to be able to live in water. Heck, we can't even survive in some land environments without the help of clothing or shelter.

It is an interesting thought game to wonder, but one that we will never actually know the answer to.

House opening theme playing while watching this

Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire of a confession Fearless on my breath Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath
