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

#12On mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx 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!

#13Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
It looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?

#14That'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.
Yes I did test that too! It seemed to sound a little nicer this way though, more cartoonish

Newer MacBooks have IMUs as well for the movement dots feature (used to help with screen sickness in vehicles)

I think someone also made this for MacBooks: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor

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.

#19It reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.
