Ah, solar activity is indeed a fascinating phenomenon :-)
I read "Sunstorm" by Arthur Clarke and Steven Baxter this summer, and
the predictions of "unprecedented levels of magnetic energy" in 2013
is oddly in accord with that story .... hum, hum ... ;-)

It sounds to me like what they've done on the video is some sort of
FFT based (re)synthesis, directly mapping the variations in light onto
frequency/amp/time. The sound on the video reminds me of the sounds
you can get from image-to-sound synthesizers like Coagula and
Metasynth, but done on moving pictures instead of still images. Maybe
you can use one of those applications for generating the sounds you
want, or even contact the Sheffield group and hear if they'll give you
access to some code and data.

Couldn't do any harm to ask them directly. It is a little surprising the 
sounds are so short. They must have lots more sitting on their shelves, 
so to speak. It is nice to see that on the "related articles" list they 
put the LHCsound project at the top (some sounds created by yours truly, 
using Csound!); this could set a useful precedent for Sheffield to make 
their sounds freely available, in the general cause of public 
"outreach". Several artists have already posted various tracks online 
using LHCsound sounds one way and another, so the appetite for  cool 
physics sonifications is definitely whetted!

You can reroute things internally with jack and soundflower.

But I'd take the advice and just contact them.

I concur, best to contact them... but for other non-copyrighted things
all you've got to do on windows is crack open audacity, set input to
stereo mix and away you go. Oh and remember in the windows audio input
devices to select stereo mix too rather than the mic.

Other than the copyright issues that may be involved, you can always mic
the speakers, or do a line-in to some recorder from your speaker outs.

There's a sample on SoundCloud here:

http://soundcloud.com/university-of-sheffield/sound-of-the-sun

No download, but maybe it will help you get in touch with the right person.
