The search for exact connection of color and sound, the exact translation of painting into music, humanity devoted more than 300 years of its history (Newton, Kandinsky, Scriabin, Schoenberg, etc.). At the end of the XIX century, this phenomenon was called "color hearing" - SYNESTESIA.
The word "synaesthesia" comes from the Greek synaisthesis and means "confusion of feelings." This phenomenon of perception, when the signals emanating from different senses, are mixed and synthesized. As a result, a person not only hears sounds, but sees them, not only perceives the object, but also feels his taste.
Topic: What sound does the color blue make? (Read 330 times)
It would be hard to describe the sound of a color if you don't have synesthesia yourself. But one must wonder that if a person could actually hear a color then other stimulus could be expressed in a different sense. For example, what would c#M smell like? What does sweet sound like without being metaphorical. It's amazing how the brain works around its limitations
I've heard a lot about this sound, but I've never encountered it 
. And honestly speaking, I do not really believe in its existence. I really do not want to hear it somewhere, in crowded places 
And who of you already heard it? Interestingly, what is the note that makes people "tense"?

Colors don't make sounds as they are light ;d
The color blue in the visible spectrum is about 450–495 nm in wave length and 606–668 THz in frequency of light. if THz is 10¹² Hz, just tune it down by halfing it to remain in the same octave.
That's a very good beginning. Now we only need a nice way to put the notes down on paper and a synthetizer to start playing colors in a concert
this is really interesting. it sounds blue
You've got me curious, so 635000000000000 (which is the average middle point for the range of the color of blue) divided by 2 a multitude of times brings me to the oscillating frequency of 577.5291356258094. So give or take its like 578 hertz.
So go here and put in 578 hertz. http://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/.
At least I think thats right.

this question belongs to another being who lived in another planet
Go ask an alien
brrrrrrrppppppp blopblopblopblop
no but seriously, to me it's a nice cool wattery sound. Like waves on the beach + cotton candy on a 55 degree day.
Make sense?

My cousin has synesthesia and says she knows.
