Uranus, in pairs: I played the moons of Pluto, Neptune and Uranus by one law, and found two new pairs at Uranus that beat between the ears

Abstract: Two moon pairs at Uranus beat between the ears: Cressida with Mab at 0.93942 Hz and Ophelia with Puck at 3.05843 Hz. I made one law that turns a planet's moons into a two-minute stereo piece. Each moon's orbital frequency is raised by whole octaves to the octave nearest 220 Hz, a hertz being one vibration a second. Two moons whose periods lie within 50 cents of a power of two take one ear each and beat, a cent being a hundredth of a semitone. Every other moon stands where JPL Horizons places it in the sky, a bell sounds when neighbouring moons line up, and the planet's recorded voice runs 18 dB beneath. Applied to Pluto's five moons, Neptune's seven inner moons and Uranus's thirteen inner moons, the law returns my earlier paper's two beats, Charon with Nix at 6.79356 Hz and Larissa with Proteus at 2.02869 Hz, and finds the two new pairs at Uranus. Each pair's tone stays in its own ear, the other ear at least 55 dB down after MP3 compression. I found no earlier music made from the orbits of these moons. This record holds the paper (OCO paper IP-A19B) and its 3 sounds. Headphones. Part of The sound of the sky: 12 papers and their sounds: 10.5281/zenodo.23986764.
