DiskClick! Emulate Old Hard Drive Sounds using your own Real life C drive.

[Deervo]

Hello Everyone i wanted to showcase a little project i have been working on. I call it DiskClick This is a program made in python that emulates hard drives sound using your C Drive Activity. This is very useful if you have only SSD'S in your computer or just want to hear old hard drives correlated with what your doing. This is actually pretty much the same idea as the popular HDD clicker by Serdashop but in a software form factor. It uses 2 wav samples which you can change in the program by loading a folder with 2 wavs in it. looping and load. The looping is basically just more of a idle and load is the drive actually reading and writing data. Included are some Hard drives i sampled from various videos and my own there not perfect i am not a sound designer but i think there good enough. This app is a proof of concept right now and a little rough around the edges but i think it works well enough to showcase.

Please Do make your own samples and share them in this thread.


You will need a full install of python and PyGame and PSutil
