If you are attending this special session, then you probably know the famous question `Can one hear the shape of a drum?' as well as its answer. Due to the physical interpretation, we say that quantities determined by the Laplace spectrum can be heard. Such quantities are called spectral invariants. Here I'll present a small collection of results, from both my research as well as others, that show that in some contexts, symmetry can be heard.

Joint work with Results presented include joint works with C. Aldana and Z. Lu.
