Knowing what Mars sounds like it's actually kind of interesting. If we build habitats on Mars we likely won't be filling them with the exact same mixture or pressure of gases due to availability and gravity as we have on earth. If the gases the sound travels along are different enough to cause different pressures the end result will be different won't it? Human vocal chords may vibrate sightly differently and voices may sound sightly higher or lower, or the echo may be faster etc. That's cool to think about. Especially if in a thousand years we start terraforming the atmosphere, the same things will sound sightly different on different planets. Like if they can easily make oxygen but not really nitrogen they may end up just having a thinner habitat air with greater oxygen concentration (but still low enough to be safe because fire) to make up for less gas overall and sounds would be I think more high pitched over distance as the pressure waves would disperse more over distance (I think?) Is that accurate? Everytime I've asked a physicist about this they've just kind of shrugged, and as the space station air is fairly close to earths composition (and they have easy access to plenty more of it so they can do that) it hasn't been an issue there. But like, filling a big habitat or eventually a full on outpost or city would be easier if we could make the gas on site than to try and transport enough of it over
