NASA recently created a new Soundcloud account and has been busy ever since uploading historical audio from the Agency’s previous missions, including astronaut voices and spacecraft sounds.
Some of the more famous audio clips, like “Houston, we’ve had a problem” and “the Eagle has landed” can be heard here, along with some more peculiar sounds, like a working spacecraft and passing debris.
Houston, we’ve had a problem:
The Eagle has landed:

One of the fun things one can do with these downloadable files is add it to his / her mobile device to go off every time for an incoming call or message.
“You can hear the roar of a space shuttle launch or Neil Armstrong's “one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind” every time you get a phone call, if you make our sounds your ringtone,” the space agency said.
“Or, you can hear the memorable words 'Houston, we've had a problem,' every time you make an error on your computer.”
The sound library is meant to compliment NASA’s already robust picture library. Both sites are free for users to download and use the media however they see fit.
