#82Wow.
Why would people downvote this comment? Seriously? I was saying Wow because I was able to listen to conversations through airlines in Paris and Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, they were speaking English through traffic control. I think this is quite an amazing tool.
Thank you guys for taking the time to explain. I will contribute more than just "wow" next time. I was just fascinated. I opened up the page and began hearing conversations! Since it was like 4 AM my time, I realized: most of the noise would be quiet.
So I click to the other side of the world.. where there was plenty of "noise"! It's quite interesting to listen to people on the other side of the world... as my side is sleeping, they are awake and business as usual.
When the skies are peaceful, at least when the radio waves are showing that the world is conducting normal business, there is comfort in knowing that.

It almost sounds like it's pre-recorded speech actually. But I agree, very relaxing.

You have to keep in mind that even the humans on HN are robots or robotic in nature. Wanton externalizations of emotional states is undefined behavior and simply treated as noise by the hive mind.
For all we know it was 1-2 people who downvoted the comment, out of hundreds of thousands who visited the site today. It's also likely that they were downvoting because they thought the commenter was being sarcastic.
You've been a member of this community for at least 6 years. Clearly you see something of value in it. Please don't trash it with comments like this.

#89Soma.fm has this for San Francisco police scanner radio traffic. https://somafm.com/sf1033/
I love Soma.fm. I feel the SF radio was better two or three years ago. The background music was less in the front, the mix was more seamless.
Agreed. Rusty, if you're out there, kick up the police scanner!
