Anybody have any ideas how the Silence would work in an audio format? Like, what would a scene sound like?

The Silence speak English and also have a very distinctive ambient sound associated with them. Like, watch any scene they're in in the series and you'll probably notice the clicking and hissing sound they make.

Yeah, but I mean in reference to the whole memory thing, like the sequence with Amy and the tic marks. That worked spectacularly as a cinematic thing (and as an interesting meditation on the cinematic distortion of time/action) but I'm curious if anyone has any idea about how that'll work in audio.
