I remember, when I was with ICL (in England) ~1980, listening to a ICL2960
playing "Land of Hope and Glory" to the Chairman, on one of his rare visits
to the RnD site in Manchester, England. The Commissioning (debugging) Engineers 
claimed that a number of manufacturing diagnostics were designed to play
specific tunes and that audio debugging was quite usual.
