This project (make sure to click through to play around with the Processing applet) uses data from an “acoustic camera” to create a 3-D model of sound, linked to an image of the sound’s source. It still seems to live in the “neat and pretty but what is it for” school of visualization, but man is it neat and pretty.
I love these projects that visualize auditory vibrations, probably because they tend to stretch just beyond my understanding of the physics involved. The sublime!

Taking sound frequencies within the range of human hearing over a short period of time we rendered them in a tangible and permanent manner, as sculptures representing a sample of time.(via generator.x)
“Dot-matrix printers create dots on a piece of paper by use of several tiny pins, aligned in a column, that strike an ink ribbon positioned between the pins and the paper. This process creates an audible sound that can be recorded and analyzed using computer software code to decode the printed characters.” (via NoiseAddicts)
