Soundwave into a circle in Illustrator

Question

I have a soundwave in Illustrator that looks like this:

It's a group made of strokes. I'd like to make it into a cirle like that:

I played around with distort and warp options but couldn't achieve this. How can I bend the soundwave?

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Create a Brush with the Brush Palette:
Window -> Brushes
Select your sound waves (with no background, just the dots), then drag and drop into the Brushes palette

Select Pattern Brush
Try the default settings. They're usually alright.
Draw a Circle with the Ellipse Tool, switch to no fill, and add any stroke color
