Recordings of radio telescopes have been made from the signals converted to audio. They sound fairly freaky IMO.

With all the "noise" what would a fairly busy subnet sound like?

The roar of an ocean tempest.


That's the ticket! Tempest is a method to re-create what data is being sent/received surreptitiously from the bits of RF/EMI emitted from the very components in the signal path. It was most common (and easy) for CRT displays because they were big emitters.

I imagine it would sound a lot like "fap fap fap fap", only multiplied by several million times.

The sound of a billion arrogant, sniveling little twats congratulating themselves on their own awesomeness.
