In addition to the usual array of scientific instruments onboard, this one also has a microphone. So, if all goes well, we’ll get to hear what Mars sounds like.At 6mbar there wont happen much, unless its heavily remastered and modified to be audible to human ears.
It is my fondest wish that when the microphone is switched on, the first sound we here is, ‘GET THAT THING THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!!’

Soory to disappoint you.
I’m sure NASA have plans to augment and amplify any sounds that are picked up. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have equipped it with a microphone in the first place.
The overwhelming majority of the photographs we get from space are enhanced for clarity, colour-corrected and so on. I don’t imagine this will be any different.
