Quantum spectra provide an interesting field for auditory display due to the richness of their data sets. Here, we are concerned with the sonification of quantum-mechanical spectra of baryons, the most fundamental particles of subatomic physics observed in nature. The data under investigation stem from different competing theoretical models designed for the description of baryon properties. We report on first attempts towards finding valid and useful strategies for displaying, comparing and exploring various model predictions in relation to experimentally measured data by means of sonification. The aim is to investigate the possibilities of sonification in order to develop them as a tool for classifying and explaining baryon properties in the context of present particle theory.
