A couple of my friends came up with this video that shows you what a heavy ion collision “sounds” like:

They base the sound on a power spectrum derived from measurements at RHIC. The discussion is about the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, but everything they say is also true for the LHC. You can find a great discussion of this on their web page.
