All I can say in my early Linux years is I tried to redirect /dev/cpu to my speakers (maybe something in /dev/snd), and it made one of the loudest sound my quite huge speakers could make. and volume wasn't so high..

I tried that because I was curious, since everything is a file, then surely cpu processing things to become a sound right ? :)

(if you try this please make sure to get that into a pcm/wav file, and reduce the amplitude of that file _first_)

lol I did this too eons ago. I don't think those speakers ever worked the same again after that.
