It's probably more nostalga than anythng but I do sometimes miss the sound of floppy drives and hard drives. With modern computers there is usually no disk activity indicators and silent drives.

I was working on restoring an old Amiga 500 recenty and the sound of a game booting off disk is so satisfying.

The FS-UAE emulator (https://fs-uae.net/) emits the familiar grinding floppy disk sounds of Amigas, if you need a hit without getting the old hardware out :-)

I was surprised by the sounds while trying "Little Computer People" for a nostalgia trip after reading "Hacking Little Computer People on the Amiga" (http://www.jaruzel.com/blog/hacking-little-computer-people-o...) last summer.
