Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the use sonification in hard sciences. Referring to works by Jonathan Sterne and Mitchell Akiyama, I will analyse strategies of audito¬ry display in sonocytology in the context of translation in scientific discourse. The article aims to broaden Bruno Latour’s perspective on the visualisation and framing in the context of sound representation, which will enable me to analyse the process of creating a representation of an organism. Following the Sophia Roosth’s work on sonocytology I will focus on the categories of autonomy and agency, and on the process of animation of research objects.
