03:26 < aestetix> holy shit sound proofing curtains make such a difference
03:26 < aestetix> fuck open offices
07:26 <@Corydon76> A bigger help is a white noise generator
07:29 <@Corydon76> Our hearing is level-based.  The lower the background noise, the more sensitive we are to lower-decibel sounds, like pins dropping.  In a noise-deprivation chamber, you become increasingly aware of the sounds of your stomach rumbling and heart beating.
07:30 <@Corydon76> In the reverse, with white noise generation, we become less sensitive to sounds, and only louder (or closer) sounds are heard.
07:31 < aestetix> Corydon76: I seem to recall that listening to white noise over an extended period can damage your hearing too
07:32 < aestetix> or am I totally wrong
07:32 <@Corydon76> What period of time?
07:32 <@Corydon76> Are we talking decades?  Because your hearing degrades with age.
07:33 < aestetix> I don't know
07:36 <@Corydon76> If you are in an area with white noise, and you transfer to a quiet area (like for a hearing test), you're unlikely to be able to transition quickly to the hearing test.  So, in that way, your hearing would be considered damaged.
07:37 <@Corydon76> With age, we also experience a reduced ability to transition between such areas.
07:59 < xray> Use a pink noise generator. It is less harsh. It is the same kind of sound that rain makes and has a different audio spectral distribution.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise

08:01 < xray> can also make pink noise
08:05 < xray> and Arduino so there is no operating system that needs to be patched. https://github.com/arduino-org/arduino-library-audio

18:48 <@Evilpig> got the new card in my plex server.  it appears to be doing the trick.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/iidcu1nwb9fs1lu/Screenshot%202019-05-15%2018.48.21.png?dl=0
