Add a dialup modem and a dot matrix printer and you have a symphony.

For the extra lazy here's the top two songs.

I could listen to that as white noise and drift off to sleep any day.
Reeeeeee bbeeroorp grreREEEEE
Internet used to be so slow that you had a tv next to the computer so you could keep yourself entertained until the funny picture loaded.
I remember downloading an mp3 took about as much time as listening to it.
KazAa...
Youngin. I remember downloading a song took an hour. Want to download an album? Better clear out your weekend and hope no one else needed the phone
I think my first modem was a 14400. It was so slow, but somehow I was so patient. If I was getting 3KB a second, I was happy.
Downloadlng kinky pictures, you'd better have a kink for hairstyles or eyebrows, because it'll be a while before anything else displays.
Bitmaps loaded from the bottom up! Tomorrow.
You could literally hear the bytes passing through your modem if you wanted.

That was a fun video and you introduced me to a new youtube channel! Thanks 😁
No worries. The 8-Bit Guy, Michael MJD, Action Retro, and Cathode Ray Dude are all YouTubers in a similar vein in my opinion that I would recommend.
That's also LGR's second channel by the way. His main channel is LGR.
Macintosh Performa models had downright adorable little bwip... bwip... bwip noises.
Hearing all the noises in the right sequence was how you knew everything was working on startup
I bet I could close my eyes and still tell you what each of those sounds meant and in what order from my family's first computer (a 386!) if you played a recording of it today

Me: Reminisces in SCSI hard drive earthquake noises.
I remembered that when I was young I had to wait for the summer to play late at night because we had centralized AC and all bedroom doors were closed. It was the only time when they could not hear my PC :D
Friend and I started doing water cooling stuff.
He could only play in winter, because he could place his water bucket on the balcony
You can use negative decibels, right? It's a logarithmic scale
Only complaint I have is that some modern monitors start making a high pitched noise with age. I sincerely thought I had tinnitus before I figured that out
This explains so much... I always wondered why it went away when I turned the power strip off... (this is real). In all seriousness, I am shockingly relieved. Also very annoyed. Very, very annoyed. That monitor was so goddamn extensive!

I actually like that my gaming computer makes a bit of noise. I can tab out while it's loading a game with tons of mods and know by the sound exactly when it's ready to play.
Oh not mine. I got 6 industrial grade 140mm case fans. My leafblower is going to take off the ground before it overheats.
