I had the exact same thought for years but never came around experimenting with it. I also hoped that one could eventually hear that something is off.

I think this can happen by either recognising the "rhythm" in which sounds appear and/or recognising different tones.

As a first step, my idea was to write a logger that plays different beep sounds for different log levels. That way you could mostly identify the “rhythm” because I guess most log messages would have the same severity. However, to a tiny degree also by the pitch of the sound.

Then as a second step I thought of mapping the log message to a scale of sounds by e.g., hashing the message. This obviously would only work if there’s no dynamic content in the message.
