Atomic spectrum of hydrogen sonified
Pieter Suurmond's nanotone sample library - december 4, 2011.
  

As a chord: hydrogen.flac (16 bit, stereo, 44k1, 2.5 MB).
823 spectral lines together (see logfile.gz).
Visualisations (of the sonification):

And slightly different: hydrogen-smear.flac (16 bit, stereo, 44k1, 1.6 MB).
823 spectral lines (see logfile.gz).

Hydrogen combined:
I made bell-like sounds from hydrogen and used them in two pieces (in combination with the helium+ ion which is exactly a double-octave higher in pitch):

Furthermore, hydrogen is the starting element in the periodic-table-progression up to to sulpher:
