If I recall correctly, the name Auralizer came from the original
extended name:  "Peep:  The Network Auralizer."  It was perpetuated by
the original domain name registration for the Peep homepage.  Peep.com,
peep.net, and peep.org were already taken (you can guess what kind of
web sites they are ;-) so I went with auralizer.com.

Cheers,
