I'm afraid there is not a great deal I can do to help. The only thing I can think of is position a microphone near it that is 
connect to the soundcard. I'm not sure whether the mic-input is constantly enabled though, since it may be only achieved by 
running a sound program such as Sound Recorder. Otherwise, connect it to a Hi-Fi. In curiosity, what advantage does the 
sound have along with the visual signs of data transfer? Please email me to tell me how you're getting on.
