+1 agree, exactly this.

The point of WAV file output from LTspice is not to produce a simulated sound (there are much better software platforms for that!) but to check the output of a sound-producing *circuit*. At some point, we hope that we finish development in the simulator and this goes back to being a bit of genuine analog circuitry!

It allows you to tweak values in (the previous example) a hi-hat circuit and hear what the changes sound like. It's "virtual breadboarding"! Once you get close enough, go and build it.
