I think that trope is often of “the earnest researcher” who has so much hope and faith that he/she does it in their spare time. So rather than a job to listen, it’s their hobby to listen.

I love it, because the silly fantastic odds of the system finding anything, much less of that thing showing up while a person happens to have the headphones on and not be distracted, are just Indiana Jones level entertaining to me. I’ll buy in every time. :D

These days I imagine it would be getting an email alert from the analysis system. Or maybe more realistically the unveil of the true result after doing blind analysis on both junk and real data, not sure what is what (as is becoming common in some areas of physics, to help prevent biases seeping in). Still some drama to be had :-)
