There are also voices that users have been picking up on in a few of the newly added sound files in Portal. The most common voices theorized as being heard are Kleiner's and possibly Barney.

Original: An update was released tonight for Valve's Portal.
As usual, the game will be updated automatically. Hm? What's that? There's more to this than it simply being a minor nonsensical update? Oh, you've got a keen eye on you! Yes, a new achievement has been added as have additional content to the game itself and a mystery that nobody has yet to solve.
When you start up a game of Portal, you'll notice that radio has a lovely new light attached to it. What's been discovered thus far is the fact that if you take the radio to specific areas in the game, different Morse codes will be transmitted. The first of which can be seen in the YouTube video below.
There are hidden images embedded into sound, Morse code, dinosaurs, newly added radios to the game's levels, and so much more.
All images are from around the web including the Steam User Forums and Facepunch, just to name a couple. Rest assured we will update the news as more is revealed!
