Same, I was surprised to find out how hard it was to play a sound everytime the word ERROR appeared on my terminal.

I even wanted to run a sound on the "positive case" ie a loop that is processing a few hundred items, could easily benefict from a subtle sound so you could feel when some request got hold...

Like virtually all hardware does ie your vacuum cleaner has something stuck and is not operating at 100% etc.

(I'm planning doing a "toy" terminal using a gamedev environment just to explore this a bit)

edit: If you use Raycast you can just throw confetti from the command line too for extra dopamine:

    open raycast://confetti



Use the ascii bell character "\a" and turn off the "visual bell" or whatever options in the terminal (I hate those things) so you can actually hear it beep and find joy.
