Windchime
Play an audio tone in your browser based on the network traffic
I made Windchime to scratch an itch I’ve had for a long time to easily tell how much data websites are loading as I browse. Turning the network traffic into audio tones means I can passively monitor the site for network traffic without having to take up screen real estate. Audio tones are assigned as follows:
- Small files: High pitch, short duration
- Medium files: Medium pitch, medium duration
- Large files: Low pitch, long duration
I’ve been surprised and delighted to see which websites minimize network traffic and data and which ones abuse them!
Turn your browsing into a secret symphony by hearing network requests as playful audio tones that change with file size—it’s like giving your tabs a soundtrack! Perfect for anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes chatter of the web.
Key features:
- 🎵 Audio feedback based on network request size
- 🔊 Dynamic pitch mapping from tiny high tones to deep low notes
- ⏱️ Tone duration scales with file size for immersive audio cues
- 🎛️ Easy toggle control and test buttons in a popup interface
