Brown noise generator for free. No network required. No more 12 hour youtube video.
We’re using the play command from the SoX project.
Then in your .[bash,zsh]_aliases:
alias brown-noise="nohup play -q -n -t alsa synth brownnoise vol -8dB </dev/null 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &; disown %1"
alias brown-noise-stop='pkill --full "play -q -n -t alsa synth brownnoise vol -8dB"'
I’m not too happy with nohup in solving the “spawn a background disowned task please” pattern. Let me know if there’s a better way.
