That does sound cool, but pretty early in their design (pg. 128) it was decided they should sound "like an old tinkertoy". That doesn't really mean much to me (Google Images* just turns up some kind of wooden Meccano), but I imagine that buzzing, whining, unwinding-clockwork ring to their voice is probably here to stay.
It would be a good opportunity to expand their dialogue, though (and we all know how much JAW loves expanding dialogue).
They were originally programmed as robot shills, taking investors on pre-recorded tours of facilities, or just generally harassing people into buying useless cack. The whole electrocution thing was them taking forceful marketing a little too far, but the Glukkons found it more cost-efficient to repurpose them as guards than actually fix them. I guess we'll probably hear them dropping broken fragments of sales jargon like "SPECIAL OFFER!" or "BUY NOW!"
*Or "!gi" as I now call it - thanks, DuckDuckGo!
