/noisy

create themed noise from the linux commandline

Primary LanguageShell

Be (pleasantly) noisy

This script uses sox (invoked as "play") to simulate various soothing ambient sounds via synthesising noise and manipulating it

Thanks to

Original idea from https://unreasonable.org/white_noise_generator_with_sox_for_Linux - and definitely worth visiting for more ideas in the comments

Also discussed on fb and IRC in 2016, and revisited again 2023

Notable thanks to IRC's Neale and Paul

Issues

  • Only minimal effort has been made to make the various sound themes consistent in invocation options or style - and most important as an issue: volume
  • Many themes throw WARNs to stderr
  • Many themes have an unpleasant audio glitch at start
