I bought a new clock radio alarm a few months back, and it has one of those fancy "sleep sounds" settings. To help you get to sleep you can listen to 15 mins of waves lapping the beach, or birdsong, or rain fall in the trees.

But where are the settings that *I* want?
- ZX Spectrum loading Jet Set Willy
- 56k modem dial up and handshaking sounds
- Epson FX80 dot matrix printer printing off a school project
- Punched tape punching out a long Z80 assembly program

@rc2014 Should have built an RC2014 one clearly.
Not sure I could cope with the Jet Set Willy one. I'd be kept awake listening for the music to start so I knew there was no R tape loading error!

@etchedpixels Actually, and music on the Spectrum beeper would be fine too!

@rc2014@oldbytes.space i'm looking for a sleep sound machine that has settings like this along with:
- the NetBSD server under your bed made out of parts screwed to a board is running cron jobs
- a Mac Centris 650 quietly humming in the corner (no drive sounds)
- chkdsk.exe on a Quantum Bigfoot

@rc2014 Those would keep me awake excitedly waiting for the fun to start. Except maybe the printer.

@rc2014 the sound of several 80mm fans happily humming away, keeping things nice and cool
