Have you heard of Hatnote?

A project compiled together using the technology of D3 and Howler Js. This simple concept is based on Listen to Bitcon by Laumeister. Yet, what is it? Hatnote is a site which enables you to listen to the sounds of Wikipedia itself. This unique, completely sporadic, forever changing sound allows you to sit back and relax, reflect and simply escape from reality. Different sounds resemble different conditions. Bells represent additions whereas string plucks indicate subtractions. Changes in pitch resemble the size of an edit, the larger the edit the deeper the note. The colour of circles also represent different conditions, green resembles unregistered contributions whilst purple circles indicates edits performed by automated machines. A string swell resembles once a new member joins. Just imagine what it would have sounded like when the whole class registered to Wikipedia a continuous string quartet. This is completely interactive as well, enabling you to click and interact with real time changes.

The music itself is very relaxing and helps with de stressing. The visual is also an element to loose yourself in. I think its a website to defiantly check out, especially when the work load is getting too much, deadlines are due and you need some chill time.

AJ This is really cool. It is so therapeutic, definitely helps to chill out. Is there a reason why some circles are bigger than others? It is really interesting to see how many people are making changes to Wikipedia all the time. Eilidh no.1 (talk) 00:27, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Bigger circles also depends on the amount of change that has been made, so for this small entry I can't imagine it being very big. Bu yes, very therapeutic indeed, I can't help but imagine what it would have sounded like when the whole class signed up to wiki, the orchestral music would have just been bliss.

Wow! That is an incredible and very clever piece of programming! I found it very neat to listen to as well- very relaxing and yet engaging in that it is never the same. It is a website to keep in your back pocket for sure. It would be interesting to see when it is most busy or where the majority of edits come from. Stafoya (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
