Updated to V.0.0.3
Changelog:
1.Made the program more sensitive to drive activity
2.New Samples Primarily 90's Hard drives
3.Added A toggle For drive ambiance for those that just want the clicks and none of the constant noise.(Note there is a bug where every time you load a new sample both sounds will play in full once its done just click drive ambiance on and off and it will work)
4. Made the UI app a little more compact and added a toggle Window for debugging.

​V0.0.5 Changelog
1.Volume Saving(Still Somwhat Buggy)
2. The Most requested feature by far. Mutiple sound samples. Now the app can load a infinite number of load samples to make it more varied and less repetitive.
3.Added at least 1 more load sample to the already present drives showcase this.

I don’t know how the software actually works, but for me the biggest disadvantage to this kind of software (and the Clicker from Serdashop) is that they do not distinguish between 100% disk seeks (from first to last sector) and track-to-track seeks. The latter at often almost inaudible and/or shorter than most random seeks where the head needs to move a lot. Physics and stuff. For me personally it feels unauthentic when loading Word sounds the same as copying or loading a large contiguous file. (If it did make the same noise it would tell me the disk is terribly fragmented).
I have no idea if this can be solved in software because you would have to know the cylinder or LBA address that is accessed and remember it for the next seek.

i am aware of this and im doing research into seeing if its possible it may not be but right now its using DISK I/O metric which i plan to swap for something more realistic
