Not quite the same thing, but waaaays back (well, mid 70s), I remember 
working on a Dec 1090.  The *high* speed line printer was capable of
some pretty fancy overstriking, repeat strokes, etc, during the processs
of which it would generate the most amazing shrieking sound (during line
feeds) machine gun rattles (overstrikes), and chattering (normal action).
Apart from the massive thrill of generating line printer pictures, I had
managed to generate quite a few documents which would *play* some pretty
neat tunes on the printer.  My favourite was the Indian national anthem 
( a rather atonal song, which was still quite distinctive).  I also 
distinctly remember being hauled on the carpet for doing that.....
