Been pondering something like that for networking. A while back i read about a guy who had set up his phone so that it would play certain tones when it detected APs while walking around town. This based on their signal strenght, security settings etc. This got me thinking back to my analog modem days, and how i could tell if i was getting a good connection or not depending on the noise it would make during the handshake. What i was thinking was setting up a sniffer, and hook that up so certain tones would play based on packets passing by. I sometimes wonder if modern computing is too reliant on one human sense, vision. More mechanical devices can give us early warnings about developing issues based on sounds and vibrations. |

Ping makes a ping sound on linux.
You can choose ping on success or ping on timeout (or silent.) Fantastic for live work.
