soundsofmychildhood.com lets you share your childhood sounds

I have been working on the following site: http://www.soundsofmychildhood.com/ It's built on rails and fully translated to Farsi (for various reasons that I can explain to whoever is interested). The premise is that you can either upload sound snippets, or record your own sounds that remind you of your childhood. People get to favorite sounds, comment, listen, etc. There's a lot that can be done: translating to other languages, making the site look less ugly, etc. I don't have the time to maintain this full time. If there is anybody that would be interested in helping out, please email me.

    Daydream.fm - build and share your own world of soundscape and music.2012 · ▲16

    Hi guys, I want to show you a site I built, which lets you build your own virtual world of soundscape. I work out of cafes all the time because the white noise and ambience helps me concentrate well. Then one day I wondered: what if I could have my own cafe on my laptop, so I can enjoy that state of mind anytime, anywhere? And what if I can share it, so other people can enjoy that emotion too? So I built Daydream. It lets you create your own world of soundscape, by combining visual, sound samples, and music. Once you set it up, you can just use it as an ambience player, or a music player…

    I've been posting a sound I made everyday day for the last year2025 · listenfaster.com · ▲9

    Hi - I'm part composer, part engineer and big fan of reading blogs where people learn out loud or with the garage door up by sharing their notebooks or journals. I've been doing this in Moleskines for years (going back to the 80s) but made it a new year's in 2024 resolution to post SOMETHING everyday, so long as I created the sound. I have a big archive of demos and seeds of ideas, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to do something with those in the process. Being so steeped in programming for the last 30 years, a healty chunk of this material is made via coding with Csound, TidalCycles, some raw…

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
