Is there a text audio format?

Question

Audio

At one time I was very surprised to learn about the text formats of raster graphics Portable anymap . And I appreciated their convenience when you need to quickly check something - after all, such a format does not need a separate library for reading, and it is simply parsed.
So is there anything similar for sound?

Answer 1

It is interesting how you can display a variety of timbres, frequencies and keys with text. If you simplify it to a single tone signal, then it can also be displayed with symbols :
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
