Not sure how useful this will be, but I did a frequency analysis of the qWxx.txt file and here are the results:

There is a lot of background noise in the sound files, other than the loud beep. Perhaps someone can listen to some frequencies and find out if the files contain anything interesting?

A few hours ago I ran the audio through Sonic Visualizer (it reveals a visual spectrogram, useful for finding a specific kind of hidden message in audio) but didn't show anything for any of the audio so far, so if there are hidden messages in there they aren't spectrographic in nature, at least.
