Radio JOVE is a STEM project that explores the radio emission of our own Jupiter, which is very similar to what has been detected in Tau Boötes. It's a very fun backyard amateur radioastronomy project that's great for kids.

Wow, that sent me down a short rabbit-hole of listening to Jupiter [0] [1] and other space radio emissions [2].

Makes me wonder if these sounds were ever remixed into music? Would certainly be an interesting concept along the lines of the German Space Night TV program.

There is "The Space Project", a 2014 album of songs by various artists using "electromagnetic radiation fluctuations in the magnetosphere of the celestial bodies studied by the Voyager probes" [1]. I like Spiritualized's track on it [2].
