Understanding sounds and noises as a sort of music is not at all a new thing of the digital era. For those interested, I suggest to search for key words that would lead you to the middle of the twentieth century „musique concrète“ and „Pierre Schaeffer“, or listen to a recording of the composition „Cricketmusic“ from 1970 by the composer Peter Eötvös.
