I was wondering what sounds people associate with the early Internet.

For instance, I remember the clatter of teletypes, Telebit and Hayes 
modem tones, VT52 buzzes, the RF interference caused screeches from the 
AM radio perched near IMP #1, the PC/IP telnet "chirp", the sound of a 
DECwriter, etc.

(I also wonder if anyone might have recordings, particularly of the VT52 
razzy buzz or the PC/IP telnet "chirp".)
