NASA's done this with a few other celestial bodies (for instance, a pulsar sounds like a crazy drummer). It's a fascinating idea, though some frequency upscaling/downscaling is frequently required, due to the RF frequencies at play. They're pretty neat.

One of the most fascinating recordings I've ever heard is the sound recorded by the Huygens probe while it descended in Titan. I was in awe because I kept thinking that those were real sounds from another world, and not a translation of radio emissions.
