You will hear a type of "clash" with the mesosphere, then a few seconds of "drag" during which the meteor disintegrates.

The sounds are cool - I hear static? a really deep shwoop and then the echo (I suspect this is the event)

Matt, I haven't listened to it but suspect you're correct - if you listen, via radio, to meteors coming, you hear a doeppler-like effect - precisely as you describe it, a deep shwoop :)
