In the Mathematica Journal 3(1): 22 there is an example by Theo Gray
from Wolfram Research, Inc. of "aural" encoding:

It is sometimes interesting to encode information in the form of
sounds.  Here is an example that associates to a location in the (x,
y)-plane a sound whose frequency is proportional to the value of a
function f(x,y):

	points=15;

	sounds = First[Graphics[Table[Rectangle[{n, m}, 
       {n + 4/points, m + 4/points}, 
       Graphics[{Play[Evaluate[Sin[2000*2^Sin[n*m]*x]*
             ArcTan[100*x]*Cos[(x*Pi)/(2*0.2)]], 
           {x, 0, 0.2}, PlayRange -> {-1, 1}, 
           DisplayFunction -> Identity][[1]]}]], 
      {n, 0, 4 - 4/points, 4/points}, 
      {m, 0, 4 - 4/points, 4/points}]]]; 

Note the use of Rectangle

	DensityPlot[Sin[x y],{x,0,4},{y,0,4},Epilog->sounds,
		PlotPoints->points];

Select the graphic, and then Shift-Click on it.  Hold down the mouse
button and drag around to hear a changing sound.

Cheers,
	Paul
