A while back I saw a post about visualizing sorting algorithms. But what do they sound like? I put together a quick Chuck script that does a bubble sort of a list of integers. Each time it compares two values it first converts the values from a MIDI note value to a frequency and then plays two tones with those frequencies.

Here something similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol5ml9e2THw
It sonifies every Java instruction triggered by different sorting algorithms. For more on CodeSounding see: http://www.codesounding.org/indexeng.html
