TachTone, a Windows tray app that makes the PC sound like an engine
A free Windows tray app turns CPU, disk, network and GPU activity into engine, drum, bell and organ sounds, built with Claude Code over a weekend.

The full story
As a child with 8-bit machines, the poster could tune an AM radio next to the computer and hear what it was doing. They asked Claude Code to recreate that on a modern Windows PC. Low load gives an idle rumble and a maxed CPU gives a full rev.
Disk activity adds tom-tom hits, network traffic plays bells and piano arpeggios, context switches add vibrato to the engine, and a busy GPU brings in an organ drone. Claude was also given access to the horn, so it honks when it needs attention. The app is free, open source and Windows only.
