This is really cool, but I had complete silence in the room, and the sound on my computer was turned up to the maximum. My cat was lying on me. When I clicked on the screen, my cat (and I, too) got so scared that she scratched my legs. But it's a fun thing, of course!
It appears you can get different modes using search params <<a href="https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L8">https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L8</a>><p>Using <i>locrian</i> as the default is <i>wild</i> <<a href="https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L26C6-L26C13">https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L26C6-L26...</a>>
Complete aside, but Jake of jake.fun is an absolute delight. I work with him over at Figma and he’s such a genuine person who makes little nuggets like this on a constant basis. He’s one of those people who make tech a fun industry to be in.

Very cool. It would be good to support multi touch, letting the user instantly switch to another noise by reacting to the latest finger. You would need to use viewport meta to disable page zoom as well.
Nice, you can also pass other modes and keys (root notes) as URL search params. It’s G locrian by default.<p><a href="https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/3c90aadf4db49505878a203dc5d99d403d2677e6/Sound.js#L24-L26">https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/3c90aadf4db49505878a203...</a>
Reminds me of <a href="https://soundbox.cognable.com/" rel="nofollow">https://soundbox.cognable.com/</a> which we use to interest disabled children in touch screens, preparing for a talker.
How come it sounds like discrete notes even thought I move continuously? Like I can move around a bit and the note doesn't change very much and then all of a sudden it changes in a discrete jump?
this is what i gather: up is noise, down are notes, left to right are different frequencies higher to lower, white dots are noise, color dots are sound frequencies, dots are a visual indication of what components the sound u r hearing is composed of.
Too much melody, not enough noise. The brain needs to be stimulated better.

The chord progression is i^o II iii iv V VI vii, which are the successive triads of a locrian scale, which is like a major scale but you start from the 7th note of the scale (ti). In this case, use A flat major, but start on G.
Absolutely excellent. It bought me much joy to have a pad like this (that used to cost me money) pop up on the front page of HN to stick my finger into.

Really cool. Related, I asked Claude something like "create a multimedia interactive web experience with audio and mouse interactions" a few months back and it produced something fairly similar. My favourite follow-up prompt was "Make it more Stranger Things" and it turned the background music - which it generated - into a pulsing synthwave sound.<p>I really need to post these art experiments as some are truly mind-blowing for a machine that can't see.
