Love projects like this – we obsess over preserving images and video, but soundscapes vanish almost unnoticed.

The Philips Coffee grinder is quite intense with Airpods on. Feels like my head is the grinder.

The sounds sort of lack, but the idea is beautiful

I'd like to track down this sound for my sisters and me: Old Library Card Punch Machine. Finding the old library smell too would be a plus.

Ahh... what memories... the legendary Pac-Man of the 80s (video games category). I was a kid, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

I wonder if it should include the sound of insects. Sigh.

I was hoping for fax machine, 56K modem, 300 baud modem, US public pay phone ringing and coin deposit, princess phone ring and dial, rotary phone dialing, 9-pin printer, and 24-pin color printer.

My personal "obsolete sound": The sound of an old C64 floppy drive failing a read.
