Can Magnetic Dipoles' Alignment Shifts Be Heard?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the possibility of hearing or recording sound generated by the shifting alignment of magnetic dipoles when subjected to an external magnetic field. Participants assert that certain materials exhibit friction during this alignment shift, which can produce audible sound. The inquiry highlights a gap in existing research regarding the acoustic effects of magnetic polarization changes. No definitive experiments or studies were cited, indicating a need for further exploration in this area.

Question on Magnetic polarization

Is it possible to hear/record the sound created by the shifting of the alignment of magnetic dipoles when introduced to an external magnetic field?

I believe that for some materials, this shifting causes friction which in return produces sound. Has anyone done this before?
