Hi Sydney,
That's a great question!
When a coronal mass ejection (or CME) reaches the Earth, it can cause brilliant displays of the aurora borealis, or northern lights. The
geomagnetic storm caused by the interaction between a CME and the
Earth's magnetosphere can also produce radio emissions such as auroral
kilometric radiation, which is associated with the aurora borealis, and
chorus waves, which are associated with the Van Allen radiation
belts.
We don't have as much information about the magnetospheres of the outer planets as we do about Earth' magnetosphere. However, data from the recent Jupiter flyby made by the Cassini spacecraft on its way to Saturn suggest that CMEs can affect Jupiter's magnetosphere. After the arrival of the CMEs at Jupiter, the aurora brightened and radio emissions were recorded in Jupiter's magnetosphere. Jupiter's magnetosphere is very different from the Earth's
magnetosphere, but the data we have suggest that there are some
similarities in the way the magnetospheres of both planets behave in
response to solar wind disturbances. You can hear what some of the radio waves from the magnetospheres of Earth and Jupiter sound like here:

Scientists studying the outermost boundary of the heliosphere ( the region of space affected by our Sun) using data from the Voyager 1 spacecraft have also seen evidence for radio emissions produced by CMEs and solar flares close to the boundary of the heliosphere. You can hear what some of the radio emissions produced by the interaction of CME shock waves and the heliopause (the boundary between the solar wind and interstellar space) sound like here:
