A timeline visualization plotting the 2053 nuclear tests and detonations from 1945 to 1998 on a world map, with sound marking each blast. It conveys the pace of the nuclear arms race.
HN links it as a reference for the history and distribution of nuclear tests, and occasionally as an example of audio data presentation.

Just pondering whether there is a system that converts line graphs into series of rising and falling tones, while a voice reads out the x axis markers. If you have multiple series, you could have different sounds running in parallel - sin wave, square wave or perhaps musical instruments each denoting a different series. That might actually be usable if there was an automated system for creating them on the fly. There's also this kind of approach ▶ this video
The last 30 seconds of that video mention it but there way off base. Humanity has done a lot of above ground nuclear testing and for the most part unless your vary close it's simply a slight increase in cancer risk. ▶ this video
There is a timeline form 1945 to 1998 of all the nuclear detonations recorded, where they took place and what nation did it. ▶ this video
