It's MIDI (GM) so how it sounds depends on synthesizer and they all are slightly different to each other having their own signature sound. Doom music was made on Roland SC-55 if you want it sort of 'authentic'. Personally I prefer SC-88 instead, someone else might prefer Yamaha MU80 or something and that's what good about old school MIDI - everyone can tailor it to their own tastes or even turn them into chiptunes should they want to.

I just meant the proper way to be played, yes, it was like that with Wolf3D as well. However, the first depicted version was canon.

http://www.dosbox.com/ every one of the games on this laptop runs through dosbox
http://www.abandonia.com/ is a fantastic site to get old games, the links on this site also lead to other dos game sites.
