This reminds me a lot of the sound of sorting algorithms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg

Fascinating.

Some early computers, such as the Elliott 803, had a built-in loudspeaker which received a pulse every time a jump instruction was executed. This meant you could tell which part of the program was executing, or whether it was in an infinite loop, just by listening. See, and indeed listen to, http://www.survo.fi/demos/#ex88

Hah, had a lot of fun listening to those. Some of them sound a bit like some digital rf modes.

Here is a thing I built a while back: An 'HTML to 8-Bit-music' converter. This transforms a URL to a Bytebeat formula and uses the HTML of the page behind the URL as input.

This is absolutely amazing. Are you planning to release it as open source? Does pull down menu for style mean that you are planning other styles? [imagine me jumping in excitement] :)

Thanks!! Yes, I have planned a couple more. The code is not obfuscated, so you can have a look that them. It's heavily based on my audio-experiments which are open sourced here https://github.com/homecoded/js-synth.

I'll add the "sound of html" there, now that you mentioned it!
