Show HN: Make your Framework 12 sound like a creaky door

    That's really fun and cool! :) I was hoping the sound would also be sped up/down (or change of pitch perhaps would work better) as you moved the hinge faster/slower, so you could do that really slow "tack-tack-tack" sound like when you move a really heavy door on a worn hinge really slow

      > pitch depends on position of hinge > volume depends on how fast you adjust it

      Yeah, I had the same thought - in all the creaky doors I've seen, pitch and speed go together.

      • arcaege
        Yes I did test that too! It seemed to sound a little nicer this way though, more cartoonish
    • plingbang
      I wonder if the sound could be fully synthesized instead of the current 2.9s recording. That's not an easy task, but perhaps the result would sound more realistic.

    On mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx < 10.5 haha): https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop

    iirc there is also a imu in some macbooks to detect a fall and park the hdd heads before the crash? Anyway, always happy to see toys like this!

    I'm reminded of the hacks for old ThinkPads that read the accelerometer used to detect drops and park the disk heads; by slapping the machine on either side, you could switch to the next or previous desktop.

    Awesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.

    It finally feels premium. This is really funny

    from the readme:

    > the filtering is optimised for framework 12's hinge stiffness.

    never in a million years would I expect to have to optimize software for a given hinge stiffness, this made me chuckle just reading it

    also:

    > why

    > funny

    I like that :)

  • cadamsdotcom
    Very cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)
  • janrakete
    It reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.

    Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
    • catgirlinspace
      It looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?
      • arcaege
        Yep, it's Fedora on KDE
      • eikenberry
        Sure did.. I was looking at the link in the body of the post, not the title link. /smh
