Planetentöne sind Töne, deren Frequenz auf der Basis von Rotations- oder Umlaufszeiten von Planeten unseres Sonnensystems oktavanalog berechnet werden (Sonifikation). Die Beschäftigung mit ihnen beruht auf dem Wunsch von einigen Musiktheoretikern, ein Tonsystem zu erhalten, das auf astronomischen, periodischen Prozessen beruht.
