- jacobsimon 11y agoHad this exact idea last summer! This is so cool
- jimm 11y agoI have often mentioned this project to others over the years, when talking about audio cues and using audio to help understand large data sets.
- latchkey 11y agoAround 1995 when I worked at the AG Group (now WildPackets / now Savvius), we sold a product that played sounds based on network traffic (via etherpeek as the underlying engine). It was very cool, but never took off in popularity.
- tajen 11y agoIsn't the noise annoying? I usually use earphones to mutter the sound of the open-space, in order to focus on my work. Isn't it the same?
- mentos 11y agoI use a Cisco linksys HomePlug to transmit ethernet over the copper power lines in my apartment. Funny thing is if I have my logitech z5500 speakers powered on I can hear the activity on the line, pretty annoying haha
- mitchell_h 11y agosnoop, the ancient Solaris tool had a command line switch(-a) that would output network packets to /dev/audio. Back in ~97-98 I discovered this an had about 20 minutes of fun.
- slyall 11y agoAround 2000 ISP I worked for had satellite link that was playing up. So we put a machine on an IP routed over that link and left it on a website playing Gregorian chants 24x7 for a week or two. Cue confused reactions from people visiting the Noc.

- malvim 11y agoTHAT's the name of that service!! I remember trying to find it about a year ago, and was never able to. I even asked here on HN and reddit, to no avail. So sad it disappeared, it seemed to be an awesome idea. Came to see the comments hoping someone would mention it. Thank you!
