Is there any app that uses scripts to generate this sort of audio? I’d like to be able to download a script of a thunderstorm, that sounds different every play, or the script for a coffee shop complete with the lunch rush and afternoon lull.
What kind of interface would you like for such a system?
I created a FOSS alternative (that's not nearly as feature complete as mynoise.net) [0] but it has the benefit of being CC0 licensed including all of the samples.
If you have features that you think would enhance the experience, please feel free to open an issue [1] or DM me.
The "meander" from A Soft Murmur and/or "animate" from MyNoise are kinda the starting point, but I'd like something that is a bit more scripted. So, for the thunderstorm example, it would loop a drizzle for some randomized amount of time (or better, a random mix of drizzle tracks), then transition into the "violent thunderstorm" mix, then maybe switch over to a calm night mix, all over the course of a few hours. The logical extreme of this might even integrate time of day for an alarm clock, for example.
The interface I'm imagining is something like a playlist interface but instead of just tracks it has composable "sound elements". A single track might be a basic sound element, a traditional one-after-another track list is another sound element, then we get the interesting ones like a random crossfade mix of elements, or a one-after-another with randomized loop times for each track.
