Safe data gathering nonwithstanding, it would be interesting if there were actually diagnostic or other information that became salient when rendered in an auditory modality: higher fraction of highly interactive (e.g. IRC) traffic?, sudden DDoS underway?, why does it sound different when Europe wakes up than when California wakes up?, does that stop happening if a botnet uses Tor for C&C?, and does whiteness (pinkness?) of noise reflect a decent metric for traffic-security, etc.
I hadn't considered the ambient diagnostic angle. In a way the music of anonymity is like the smell of space. You wouldn't think there was such a thing, but there is.
