The Future Starts Here
Bleeoo SCREEEEEEE!
I can’t believe it’s less than seven years ago that I had to memorize modem protocols, RS-232 pin functions, and diagnostic sounds during my computer/support tech certification! Looking back now, it feels as if that had happened in some kind of weird, alternative universe.
Now, in case you wonder what I’m talking about: In this blog post, Oona Räisänen took the sound recording from Wikimedia Commons and put together a fantastic spectogram with accompanying labels (click for huge original):

You won’t get clearer explanations on what these sounds are about any time soon.
And while we’re taking a trip down memory lane: don’t forget to visit and enjoy the Museum of Endangered Sounds!
If you have something valuable to add or some interesting point to discuss, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you at Mastodon!
