The RAW data is result of this command in my Linux command line shell:
cat /dev/sda1 > My_Hard_Drive
Then the file My_Hard_Drive has been imported as RAW by Audacity sound editing program with attributes:
Signed 16 bit PCM with no byte order 2 channels (whatever...) stereo, 44100 Hz.
This sound differs from that which can be played just by command "cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/dsp" - this last command plays sound through speakers instead of writing a file.
The sound is closer to sound of 56k modem. Later i will upload it (i've just connected line-out of sound card to it's microphone slot)

As you see - waves are cutted - it distorts sound much - this is maybе only effect present in record... But it wasn't made by me )

Yes, it is pure, i did nothing to edit or change it in any way. You can, i believe, generate similar sounds in linux easely. It is done by sending binary stream data into a file, then i just opened it in sound editor and said that this is 16 bit pcm, or 8 bit pcm unsigned int or something (these choices affect on resulting sound you hear). Read the discription above for details.

Is this purely digital noise from the hard drive, or did you edit some other stuff into it? I could swear I hear some sounds almost like a low-fi gunshot, or even a voice in there at times (47.671).

Excellent digital noise! Nice!
