I heard this on NPR yesterday and immediately checked out listen.hatnote.com. It uses a live feed for Wikipedia edits, and turns them into sounds. According to the site, "bells indicate additions and string plucks indicate subtractions. Pitch changes according to the size of the edit; the larger the edit, the deeper the note."
Not only is it hypnotic, but reading the titles of the entries that are being edited is fascinating.
