Lately my external HDD making old school hard drive clicky groans as it downloads overnight. I had forgotten computers used to sound like this until I bought it; it's nostalgic and soothing.

I have a recording of the big machines where I work. Rhythmic clunking and whirring motors puts me right to sleep.
Doesn't that make you sleepy at work?
Yea, sometimes. There's usually enough other stuff going on it's not a problem.
Not too weird, but I found this accidentally: a subwoofer under my bed (the speakers that came with it broke)
I found a ten hour long brown noise mp3 that is set to loop indefinitely on an old burner phone. Through the subwoofer it sounds exactly like the warp engines from Star Trek TNG. Incredibly comforting, and hard to sleep without
That's the most Lemmy response I've ever read, I love it.
I'm a reddit refugee who always lurked. Hah I'm trying to be more active on Lemmy so imma take that as a compliment
