You realize that the only way to make it sound accurate - or normal, for that matter, is to have that .wav as a sample in whatever MIDI synthesizer you're using, right?

MIDI is NOT a digitized sound format; think of a MIDI file as sheet music, whereas .wav is a recorded sound. The best you can do is take this recorded sound and "transcribe" it onto a blank sheet as accurately as possible, then these notes are played though the internal instruments in your MIDI synth. Since there's no built-in MIDI sample that has this sound, it has to be approximated by the closest thing, which would probably be a xylophone or some other instrument which will end up sounding nothing like the original sound.

What kind of fone do you have? I know sprint supports a qcp file or something which u can convert into from wave.

btw, you goto ucsd? im starting there this fall.

Why not just find someone who has done all the work already?

Here's one conversion, not perfect but sounds close.
