vicgrinberg, (edited ) #Pulsars are magnetized, rotating neutron stars. Beams of radiation from their magnetic poles swipe past the observer, resulting in characteristic pulsing radio patterns.
The fastest pulsar we know, PSR J1748−2446ad, rotates at 716 times/sec or 43000 times/min.
You can listen to some of the pulsars here - the intensity of the radio waves as the amplitude of the audio:

Not the 716 Hz one, but the 173.7 Hz (careful, annoying sound!)
