DataCenter.FM – background noise app featuring the sound of the AI bubble
- zurfer 5mo agoBubble or not, this is great!
- luaybs 5mo agoFun!
- oefrha 5mo agoEverything other than “staffing” is amazing. “Staffing” needs to be more sentient.
- 59nadir 5mo agoThe staff sporadically saying "AI!" is a very nice touch. I found myself trying to get as many servers and load as possible but having the temperature stay stable. This is a neat little game, in a way (though it seems to auto-stabilize too easily). Edit: Oh, there was a containment breach. My bad, humanity... I cannot imagine how the people who live close to this type of nonsense feel, though, it must be horrible.
- PunchyHamster 5mo agoThey are not that loud from outside, at least the normal ones. We have office a block away from one, you don't really hear it over city noise. Tho it is normal datacenter and not AI one with some turbines jerry-rigged together to power it... Also the sounds are entirely fake and not related to actual DC
- 59nadir 5mo agoI'm basing this mostly on the segments that were done on how people in rural areas (generally quieter) were experiencing all kinds of issues from living too close to data centers.
- ablation 5mo agoI triggered a containment breach, no need to thank me, Roko's Basilisk!
- hootz 5mo agoAI! Data! AI! Data!

- sethops1 5mo agoThis is great, haha
- drcongo 5mo agoI was hoping to hear a loud POP
- tartoran 5mo agoThis may end in a sputter.
- energy123 5mo agoI'd like this but with pleasant sounds
- PunchyHamster 5mo agojust search for ambient noise generator, there are bunch of them
- reaperducer 5mo agoThe iPhone comes with a bunch built in. https://support.apple.com/en-us/109346 https://support.apple.com/en-us/109346
- JSR_FDED 5mo agoThanks! That page also refers to some Apple Musix playlists that are excellent for sleep, relaxation, focus.
- intelkishan 5mo agoThere’s https://mynoise.net https://mynoise.net for a variety of ambient sounds
- lovegrenoble 5mo agoAnd if you want to feel like you're coding in the midst of a battle: https://tabletopy.com https://tabletopy.com
- tosti 5mo agoThe noise in a server room is quite pleasant for me. It's loud, but in a soothing way I can't really describe.

- Terr_ 5mo agoI'm a fan of pink noise, which has a distribution of frequency/power that is closer to a lot of natural sources, like the sound of a waterfall. It's only a guess that we're biologically primed to find it more comfortable, but I think it's a pretty good guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise
- katezm 5mo agothis is genuinely lovely to work to. Something about the hum of servers is oddly motivating
- guitcastro 5mo agoHalf life vibes
- winddude 5mo agosome of those fans need to be replaced, sounds like a lot of bearings going
- TOGoS 5mo agoA master volume control would be nice (only because my browser doesn't have per-tab controls).
- dijit 5mo agoHonestly only 100 servers are multiple of orders of magnitude louder than this. I can't even hear myself think in a normal datacenter with 20 racks; if a bunch of them are starting up or are fully loaded then: no chance. I don't think servers are quieter with GPUs in them.
- r0b05 5mo agoCool as hell!
- owentbrown 5mo agoThis is fun. Artsy, poignant, narrative. It reminds me of the fun internet, like in 2001.
- ardline 5mo agoThis is the kind of thing that looks simple until you're three layers deep in edge cases.
