IDEA: Someone please make a "white noise" generator that play audio of old computer 'whirring' noises... like a dot matrix printer, a fax machine, a modem, etc... that plays low-key in the background...

I actually miss the sound of a dot-matrix.



The excellent MyNoise.net website has a couple that may match:

"Vintage Office" [1] has a Dot Matrix printer.

"Calm Office" [2] has a Printer/Scanner.

HOLY SHIT!!!

That was my first printer ~1986 or so.... gosh I wish I still had it.

Make it play the Windows 95 sound...

(the guy who wrote the win95 startup sound was paid $30K)

This is pretty amazing though:
