What does it sounds like?

This is a data burst from CO 033:  Data Burst  As you can tell from listening,
the s/n ratio isn't that good on this frequency, as the data burst itself does not stand out clearly from the brief leading and trailing ambient noise floor. Nevertheless, that data burst resulted in a usable position report.
