Berlin?

It is not allowed to listen to radio transmissions you aren't the destination of in Germany and apperently in the UK. So listening to policeradio, AirTrafficControl or anything similar is prohibited by law. https://forums.liveatc.net/listener-forum/german-atc/

What an odd law. Anybody aware of the reasoning behind this?

Anti-propoganda? I am not sure of the reasons, but I recently read a book on the pirate radio stations that broadcast am from ships just offshore England a century ago. It was illegal to listen, but the broadcasters were in international waters. There was also a tv show set in WWII about illegal radio transmission, called Alo Alo. I also know the fcc had a list of countries the US Hams arent allowed to respond to. Seems emptied now http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_2&id=am...

Wow, surprised to see this on HN! Creator here, if you have any feedback, please just comment here or ping me on twitter @andersaberg, I'll take airport requests etc there :) Have a good one, A

This is nice! But I was hoping for a transmission of the sounds at the terminal/gate, and/or the announcements at the gate.

This is a great background sound for working. I have the airport chatter at medium and the ambient music at low, and I listen to a busy airport that I can't understand at all (Santiago is a good one) so I don't engage my brain too much. I'm finding this incredible for helping with focus.

The sound of a cafe can also be a nice background sound.

Seems to max out my CPU on MBP macOS Sierra Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)

Could be the background clouds video + software rendering. Try taking out and see what happens.

Thanks for the leads. Will rewrite it to use PNGs and CSS animations instead of the youtube video! :) This is all a learning journey for me, so it fits right in! :)
