I have a soft spot for insane projects that swim against the tide.
And it makes sense for the kind of projects they talk about (basically museum pieces that have no proper HDD and stuff anymore, so they sound wrong now). Not sure if I’d want the noises back for more than a few minutes of nostalgia.
Although it was nice to hear if your computer was still healthy, in an age where this could change between nine and five.

How about a mouse-ball squeeker?
And a “fibery dust caught in da thing” pointer displacement randomizer?

Can it also do dialup noises, I wonder…
Re: Keyboard clackifier, I know Obsidian has a typewriter sounds plugin.
