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!

Anyone has a general solutions for this? Lots of time that i open such apps featured on hn they're always on 100% volume with no way to turn it down and it blows up my ears... I'm using firefox and tried some volume extension but it was a 20% chance if it worked on the website or not

Set ‘media.default_volume’ to 0.3 or so in about:config.

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.

I was thinking multitouch as well, but more about chords than sequential noises.

They are already chords.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My son wanted to know why all planets move in one direction around the sun. https://strangeloop.nl/max.html I struggled a bit with finding the right way of controlling this, but with some patience you can set up a cloud of nicely rotating particles, and try to reverse the overall direction of the swirl by adding particles that rotate in the other direction.

Love this! Nice work.

Thanks! Full disclosure: by the time this was done, the actual question that prompted this was long forgotten. I got a "huh, that's nice." for my trouble (:

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.

Absolutely. I sooo wanted to tap a snare or drum with my thumb while playing the chord with my index finger.

I don’t get the reference with Loud Pipes

moving around on the noise site, you can get it to resemble parts of loud pipes, especially at around 2:35 [1] with the repeated upward bits

In Chrome I set all sites to be muted by default. I assume Firefox has the same feature.
