Modern TIG welders use a high frequency switching power supply to generate high currents needed in welding. With a very simple hardware modification, the welder can modulate an audio input signal, creating a plasma tweeter whenever the user strikes an arc.
The playback system can either take input
from a live audio source, or start and stop a recording to ensure nothing is missed. It could even be used for the welder to audibly communicate system status to the user.

I can see this being used at heavy metal concerts |

Anything that makes a more sound weld has to be uplifting. |

Mmmyes. Mmyes! All of a sudden the drone of conventional tig seems mighty dull. You would most definitely want to link play/pause to the foot pedal. |

I imagine Beethoven's fifth would leave a somewhat inconsistent weld. Perhaps the study of ancient welds can reveal what the welders were listening to at the time? |

You could make music by having several welders join together. |

One in each hand! By welding on big resonant tanks, you should be able to get lower frequencies too? |

Definitely the spark of an idea here .... |
