Noise - Readit News

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!

if only the titling were less ambiguous..

I had my speakers muted and assumed it referred to visual noise, given the graphics

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

lewantmontreal · a year ago

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

A physical volume knob on or near your keyboard.

On linux there's a suite of audio effects that work with pipewire. Compressor and limiter are included so it should be possible to do what you need.

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

Almost there :).

Man, those two first Ratatat albums had such a great sound. I’m not quite sure how they created it but I saw them play in a little club in London and it was every bit as full and textured as on the albums. I have a recording of the gig somewhere.

etrautmann · a year ago

I think their sound was created by time reversing guitar notes? I was never clear how it would be possible to play that live?

SSLy · a year ago

Share it kindly, I’m pleading you.

Such an actually underrated band. That album, Classics, as well as their entire discography is a work of art.

blackethylene · a year ago

The way they layer sounds is so intricate and dynamic, it pulls you in from the start and keeps you hooked with every listen.

Also the Ratatat Remixes Vol. 1 & 2 are just genius. One of my favourites : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVHCR3W5ITo

Fuck, I spent a few minutes thinking I had heard something similar somewhere and you solved the mistery, thank you so much.

Never before seen on HN, must upvote favorite song and take the hit for saying so.

I got more of a Ratatat - Tacobel Canon vibe:

I don't think I've ever seen a video with 26M views, but no description.

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

It appears you can get different modes using search params <https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L8>

Using locrian as the default is wild <https://github.com/ja-k-e/noise/blob/main/Sound.js#L26C6-L26...>

rav · a year ago

The default chords from left to right sound pretty standard in my ears: vii⁰, I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi - but maybe it's locrian if you take the leftmost chord to be the tonic, and a plain major if you take the second from the left to be the tonic?

arendtio · a year ago

To use it, do you have to add a mode parameter like so?

https://noise.jake.fun/?mode=major

Yuppers.

jjcm · a year ago

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.

The source code is posted on the author's github, by the way:

He has some files named after GPT3 and GPT4. I wonder what that's about

billyoyo · a year ago

looks like they were playing around with getting gpt to write some code to render the particles

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.

al_borland · a year ago

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

Jolter · a year ago

They are already chords.

binarysneaker · a year ago

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

andrew-v · a year ago

Nice, you can also pass other modes and keys (root notes) as URL search params. It’s G locrian by default.

Reminds me of https://soundbox.cognable.com/ which we use to interest disabled children in touch screens, preparing for a talker.
