<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577604 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/demo/">demo</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/generator/">generator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/noise/">noise</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/program/">program</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/signal/">signal</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sound/">sound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/source/">source</a>). </p> <p>Simple White Noise Generator Using Standard Python In Linux - noise.py</p> <p>This code is a stand alone program to generate a signal, at the earphone sockets, of white noise.</p> <p>It needs /dev/dsp to work; if you haven't got it then install oss-compat from your distro's repository. (NOTE:- /dev/audio could also be used but I decided to use /dev/dsp to show that this was within easy reach of standard Python too.)</p> <p>Ensure the audio system is NOT in use for this to work and all the levels are set up for your normal requirements. In my case root level WAS NOT required but that does not mean that root level IS NOT required - so be aware.</p> <p>All that is required to make this a piece of audio test equipment is a cable plugged into to the earphone socket. The output level is fully controllable inside the code and the noise is generated in about 10 second bursts</p> <p>Assuming it is copied into the module(s) drawer just type:-</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import noise[RETURN/ENTER] </code></pre> <p>And away you go...</p> <p>This is Public Domain and you may do with it as you like.</p> <p>Read the program for more information. (There will be more to come in the future... :)</p> <p>Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems... ;o)</p> <p>73...</p> <p>Bazza, G0LCU...</p> <p>Team AMIGA...</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Bash recipe 580801 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/alarm/">alarm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/apple/">apple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/baby_alarm/">baby_alarm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cygwin/">cygwin</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/noise/">noise</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sleep/">sleep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sound/">sound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/whitenoise/">whitenoise</a>). </p> <p>This is a simple BASH, DASH and SH script to sooth a newborn baby to sleep for a laptop with a builtin mic. Develeoped around an Apple MacBook Pro.</p> <p>Usage:- [./]shush.sh &lt;time in seconds from 18 to 2700&gt; [sensitivity [Hh|Mm|Ll]]&lt;CR&gt;</p> <p>If time is omitted it defaults to 2 bursts of 9 seconds each and if sensitivity is omitted defaults to [M]edium.</p> <p>It uses Quicktime Player for Apple OSX 10.12.4 minimum /dev/dsp for CygWin and some Linux flavours and arecored for Linux ALSA machines for baby awake detector.</p> <p>Upon the two arguments the white noise generator runs for approximately the time given in $1 in bursts of 9 seconds until the time limit is reached. $2 is used to detect of baby is awake and reruns the noise generator again with a new noise waveform.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p>
