The SOUND of Titan!!!!
Vonnegut and Al Stewart have heard "The Sirens of Titan," now there is an MP3 at the Huygens ESA website:

2. Sounds like static

lots of it. Not that I expected it to say, "Hello, I'm Titan." or something.

8. Yeah, does sound like static
but is there a block and hammer in the background? Sounds like it.

The second one is creepy. Sounds like a speed boat, a old 80s game music, or in a bad radio reception.

4. It does seem to loop...
But it's amazing to think we little monkeys can even get that thing out there... I understand the tech and it still seems like magic...

BTW: Did anyone else get their name aboard the Deep Impact vehicle? NASA had a website for a while and they engraved submitted names of the impactor. As we were watching the launch, I remembered registering my name for that...

9. I Would Never Have Thought of Ambient Music
as the music of the spheres, but it may not be that far off.
