The following three paragraphs were snipped from a CNN article on the
Huygens probe.

Huygens hit the upper atmosphere 789 miles (1,270 kilometers) above the
moon at a speed of about 13,700 mph (22,000 km/h). A series of three
parachutes slowed the craft to just 15 mph (24 km/h).

Chutes and special insulation protected Huygens from temperature swings
and violent air currents. Strong winds -- in excess of 311 mph (500
km/h) -- buffeted the craft.

Its sensors deduced wind speed, atmospheric pressure and the
conductivity of Titan's air. Methane clouds and possibly hydrocarbon
rain was analyzed by an onboard gas chromatograph. A microphone listened
for thunder.

See the part about "A microphone listened for thunder."? Will the audio
be released publicly?
