 Sonochemistry is a real field of scientific exploration looking at the influences of sound waves and the effect of sound on solid bodies, using ultrasound to alter chemical reactions. And cheese is essentially a chemical reaction, so perhaps sound waves can have some kind of influence.

To test out this theory, researchers and a cheesemaker placed nine 22-lb (10-kg) Emmental cheese wheels in individual wooden crates in a cheese cellar, and each was played a different 24-hour loop of one song using a mini transducer that directed the sound waves directly into the cheese.

Six months later, the cheeses were analyzed by food technologists, followed by a blind taste test by a panel of culinary experts. The result? Hip-hop cheese topped them all in terms of fruitiness and was the strongest in smell and taste—with the panel also concluding that a clear difference could be discerned between the cheeses. No word on if leaving a speaker on in your fridge will make those processed slices taste any better, though.

On that note - ever wondered why you spend more money than planned, while dining-out?
