That's really fun and cool! :) I was hoping the sound would also be sped up/down (or change of pitch perhaps would work better) as you moved the hinge faster/slower, so you could do that really slow "tack-tack-tack" sound like when you move a really heavy door on a worn hinge really slow
I'm reminded of the hacks for old ThinkPads that read the accelerometer used to detect drops and park the disk heads; by slapping the machine on either side, you could switch to the next or previous desktop.
On mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx < 10.5 haha): https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop

iirc there is also a imu in some macbooks to detect a fall and park the hdd heads before the crash? Anyway, always happy to see toys like this!
Awesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.

> pitch depends on position of hinge > volume depends on how fast you adjust it
Yeah, I had the same thought - in all the creaky doors I've seen, pitch and speed go together.

Very cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)
from the readme:
> the filtering is optimised for framework 12's hinge stiffness.
never in a million years would I expect to have to optimize software for a given hinge stiffness, this made me chuckle just reading it
also:

I like that :)
It finally feels premium. This is really funny

Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
It looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?
