* Website/{{SCP|Foundation}}-1342, "To the Makers of Music," is a replica of the Voyager probes themselves, including a golden record featuring the residents of an alien planet who encountered ''Voyager 1'' 40,000 years in the future and strove to be like the humans found on the Golden Record. Humans, however, still abused them and almost destroyed them, so they built a replica of the ''Voyager'' probe and sent it back in time to splash down on Earth as a warning to them.

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The Golden Record captures the best of what humanity has to offer; greetings and messages of peace in as many languages as possible, the sound of laughter and wildlife and some of the most beautiful music ever written, and photographs of our forests, oceans, monuments, and people. Hell, in the context of showcasing all that we are to any aliens that may find it one day, even the photos of things like rush hour and a supermarket are beautiful.

* HellIsThatNoise: If one did not know how to decode the images from Earth ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibByF9XPAPg as is done here]]), the images would certainly sound like unnerving beeping. Not to mention Ann Druyan's brainwaves, which sound like random crackling.

->''As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organization of the 147 member states who represent almost all of the human inhabitants of the planet Earth, I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship, to teach if we are called upon, to be taught if we are fortunate. We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of the immense universe that surrounds us, and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.''
