I once had a computer where if I attached my headphones to the output of the sound chip on the main board, I would get all sorts of weird squelchy noises that somehow were linked to what the machine was doing. The machine being idle sound a certain way, starting program A had a certain signature, starting program B had a different one... it reminded my of the olden times, of knowing certain things just from the sounds from the disk drive.
- breakingcups 5y agoYep, me too, I still remember most of the distinct sound patterns of everyday use.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoI like the the noise of HDD's, I can tell what my NAS's are up to without even needing to check.
- rasz 5y agoThat would be almost every PC up until ~2000-2005 unless you got a very expensive high end sound card. You can still get that today with bad power design or user error https://youtu.be/KQTt-7F3MYw?t=317 https://youtu.be/KQTt-7F3MYw?t=317
- howaboutnope 5y agoYeah, it was similar, though I could even hear the mouse coursor move. Very faintly though, it was pretty much unnoticeable when the computer was playing sound. It also didn't sound as much as static like in the video, it was really high-pitched (probably a lot of it was beyond my hearing threshold). All in all I would love to have it as an option.
