    This is surprisingly relaxing, thanks for posting this. Something about it being unpredictable puts my mind at ease, like I'm not constantly trying to mentally hum along with the song. I just selected all of the available language versions, it's amazing the mass of worldwide effort being put into Wikipedia. It's not as relaxing though, so I'm going to change it back haha.

    Wikipedia itself has become ambient music. Listen to Wikipedia, per co-creator Mahmoud Hashemi, “is a real-time auralization of Wikipedia growing, one edit at a time.” Bells are additions, strings are subtractions, smaller edits sound higher tones, and larger edits lower tones. “There’s something reassuring about knowing that every user makes a noise, every edit has a voice in the roar. (Green circles are anonymous edits and purple circles are bots. White circles are brought to you by Registered Users Like You.”
