(moderation:
The data has been pre-processed quite much to make it suitable for this kind of distributed computing. The file you get has nothing to do with an audio file anymore. The actual, unfiltered detector data sounds like white noise anyway (I heared the GEO600 data). Maybe have a try with the app executable? I guess it would be at least more interesting.
I've heared some simulated, thus clean sounds which hopefully would resemble what we detect, but currently I think that's no more than an educated guess. I didn't find these with a short glance at google, maybe someone with more patience and time for it would spot them if they are on the web.

Funny. Alan Wiseman just used my iBook to listen to some audio files he might use for a talk he will be giving at a high energy conference.

For now you may listen to the bacward recorded Cymbals and Piano on Queen's "Another one bites the dust". I think there are certain similarites to the sound of gravity waves that we would expect to hear from a black hole collision.
[Edit] Thanks David! Well, not that far apart, eh? :-)

Most likely not, because of the way the data is split up. You will need to get all the data files of all workunits and process them to get something (more or less) useful - and that still won't do it, as we only make available thos segments that we consider to be useful for the search.
