	Surely it should be more like a sort of 'TINK!' sound, you know, like you
get sometimes when you switch a fluorescent light on.

Of course, that would make it a *real* challenge!

I was thinking something along the lines of the Beethoven's 4th Symphony...

That has been done... Fractint a (fractal rendering program) has a
mode that plays a note whose pitch and timber are determined by the
color and depth of the point being rendered. 
(I believe both pitch and timber anyway, been a while)  

One thing to consider with fractals is that they a chaotic and while
the results may be striking to the eye, it can be very annoying to the
ear.
