I have this new app called Field Trip that alerts me every time there
is
something in the vicinity it thinks I should know about. And it does
it
using a little characteristic buzz and sound that is kind of like the
one
note, "dong", from Law and Order, that means, "something
important
just happened", or at least as a non tv watcher I
think it is law and order, maybe not. But the sound is trope-ish, is
that
the right word? It is characteristic and short and associated with
something else that is happening in the story. So I was thinking,
what if you had an app that listened for characteristic parts of your
life to happen and then played tropes at appropriate or
inappropriate
times? What a hoot. I would especially like the little two second
slap
bass thing from Seinfeld after I make a joke. Wow that dates me.
At
least someone is dating me. Ba-dang dong dang dang.

Could it play the noise from the Enterprise's
(NCC-1701) sliding doors every time the user
goes
through automatic sliding doors ? |

When not in school as a perpetual student I take work as a
truck mechanic. That sound you refer occurs regularly in
the truck shop environment in almost exact tone and
resonance, and really does have a strong foreboding
effect. I'm glad you mentioned it. |

Hmm, I can't find the "harp" sound. Mine says, "portentous
grim reaper gong sound like you're going to hell". What's
your secret? |
