One memorable album using this was Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs for the Deaf. If you rewound from the start of the first track you got 90 seconds of strange sounding (but tuneful) rumbles and bleeps and bloops.
When I looked it up online I found out it was called “The Real Song for the Deaf”. It was literally a song for deaf people, the idea was that if they turned it up enough they’d be able to hear the vibrations forming a song.
For those interested to listen via a more accessible method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEU01LrnWng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEU01LrnWng
