Magnetic Animation
Filmed in NASA's Space Sciences Labs, and narrated by passionate space physicists, a new film, Magnetic Movie, blends sound-controlled computer graphics with animated photography to bring to visual life the otherwise invisible magnetic fields that surround us. The creators of the film, Semiconductor, are Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt from Animate Projects. They bring together a combination of interests in digital animation, artificial intellegence, and chaos theory when composing their unique films.

Hopefully, you realize..
Or, to put it another way, the sounds you hear are VLF radio waves. The animations you see are keyed to the sounds that you hear, but in no way depict the actual magnetic field, or the actual location of the magnetic field.
The fields that are causing the sounds that you hear are not in those laboratories. Check out these real magnetic fields. Much prettier:
