What would it look like/sound under the clouds of certain planets?

So I always see these false colour images of the inside of planets and get disappointed when I realise it is just fake imagery and that is not want it looks like. So if I had a really good HD camera, what would it look like in some of the more notable planets in the solar system? I have particular interest in Jupiter, Venus, Titan and so forth.
 
The atmosphere on Jupiter is odd. If you fell into it, you'd see the gas density increasing until it became a liquid but you would never splash into a surface.
I suppose a probe in the upper atmosphere could detect sound waves if required with a mic.

Venus has a surface temp hot enough to melt lead, and its unbreathable atmosphere is 90 times as dense as ours... still, a probe mic could probably detect sound waves coming from a volcano, for example...
