NASA recorded audio from the auroras around Jupiter and they processed it heavily but the result is at least as twisted as any creepy clown can manage. (Science Daily: Jupiter’s spooky sounds: Emissions from Jupiter’s auroras captured)
Eventually you will be able travel to Jupiter but you may not want to do it if you want your brain to be anything but mush by the time you get there. (Science Daily: Mars-bound astronauts face chronic dementia risk from galactic cosmic ray exposure)
That's a bit of a problem when the only way to protect against cosmic rays is with heavy shielding which would be too much to boost into space.
Mice sing ultrasonic songs to each other and scientists discovered the process they use is similar to that of a jet engine; it does not involve the larynx. (Science Daily: Mice sing like a jet-engine)
For the sci fi aspect, how about capturing that audio and pitch shifting it so we can hear the mouse opera.
Since we're on a roll anyway, here's a strange one about resistance to asthma. (Science Daily: Intestinal diversity protects against asthma)
As a kid, I had raging asthma to the point of getting adrenalin shots when I was eighteen months old. That stopped almost immediately on coming to America which makes no sense since it's incurable. Nevertheless, that's what happened.
There's little potential for sci fi in those ones but that's ok as the health situation is not improving so the Silas is out for now. Since it's light I probably won't be able to sleep but I've got three blankets on the sofa so at least I'll be warm.
