that first image looks like the image from the audio file except with a glyph instead of a globe.

well in the bg image: http://halo.msn.com/downloads/images/bg_main.jpg
you can see that the OAR's symbol ( i think its forerunner for earth) is not lit up, but in the wallpaper it is, so is this an indicator on the status of the halos activating, like white = charging/firing, and nothing = standby/no activity?

there are also 8 circles, and 16 plates surrounding the circles, so maybe there is a base 8 system that were suppose to use, kinda like the base 7 system that the timer ran on

That weird face on the bottom part of the glyph looks like a Ninja Turtle. Must be a clue. Anyone wanna go check out the sewers of New York City?

Yo, what is with this 8 shit all of a sudden? 8 rings around that sewer-cover in the bg? Suddenly 7 isn't good enough for them? Been reading too much Terry Pratchett lately?

hey guys, check this out, i overlayed the sound byte image, and got this:

A perfect fit, and as you can see the earth and the moon are aligned with the glyph, here ive highlighted them:

and what i found most surprising is that the moon and the green spot are right over each other, easier to see in this image:
