![]() ![]() That cricket in your house that’s endlessly chirping away? It’s probably a male. Scientists have even managed to recreate the sound of an extinct cricket relative, a fossilized Jurassic bush cricket (katydid), by examining the shape of its wings. They rub a scraping organ on one wing against a comb-like organ on the other.Įach cricket species has distinctive noise-making structures that produce unique sounds. Run your finger down the teeth of a comb and you’ll hear an almost musical rattle. There’s a persistent myth that crickets rub their legs together to make sound. How do crickets chirp? Old-timey illustrators sidestepped this question by drawing them playing tiny violins. They don't make sound the way you think they do. Interestingly, the name for the sport of cricket has a totally different origin: it comes from an Old French word for goal post. The word cricket comes from the Old French word criquet, and refers to the cricket’s song-people once thought that those repeated chirps sounded like “criquet … criquet … criquet.” Crickets were named for the sounds they make. Here are 11 surprising (and often adorable) facts about crickets. They’re living thermometers with ears on their knees, and they just might save the world. I realize this is slightly different than what the original poster requested, but I thought I'd share another possible use for such functionality.They’re insects that invade our homes, but they’re beloved around the world. Configuration options could include frequency of beeping, sound configuration per folder (only certain folders may generate repeating beeps), require any/all messages to be read to stop beeping. Since we are not always at the computer, it would be nice to allow the computer to continue to "beep" at me if a new message arrived in the folder since the last time i read that folder (ie answering machine functionality). Maybe something that would bonk them on the head with a rubber mallet?Īctually there is a more general need for such a feature.įor example, I use VOIP for my phone and get voicemail via email. I don't see a high demand for it, but it's worth asking. You might want to make a request downstairs in the Extension Development forum. I have no idea how difficult that would be, not being a programmer myself. Maybe someone would be willing to write an extension for you. wav to make a sound when I get a new message? I won't even ask what happened to the last sound!ĭaifne wrote:It makes sense in your situation, but I don't know if there's a way to do it. wav sound (very short) that I browse to and open & when I press preview, there is no sound like the last one altho it is listed there as the sound that I want to use when I get a new message. I can't find the sound that I had, but that's besides the point. It says "advanced" if you want to hear another sound, I browsed, and I heard the sound.very cute. Hi, don't know if this is the right area, but I had a folder with a couple of cute. If it sounded for every download like what you want, I would shoot my computer. If I wait to get it, then I know that it could be more than that first batch. In my case, I hear it and know that there is new mail. The majority of people don't want it sounding for every piece of mail that comes in. The notifier will not sound if more email comes in before you check the messages that have already arrived. Is there a setting in the About:Config or a pluggin that would help me here? Not that I want a sound for each one, but a timer to make it chime again would be nice if for some reason people didn't hear the first round of downloaded alert e-mails. Does that make since? There are many servers that use Nagios and it also sends us e-mails for down or up services. Perhaps if there was a timer settings or something that would sound off the audio alert for new mail every 5 or 10 minutes per download batch. After 12pm people tend to drift off into a happy sleep and fail to hear the other e-mail alerts. But this e-mail account is used for Anti-Theft and a few other emergency calls. It should do this, correct? In away I can understand why that is default because it would drive me insane as well.lol. Most of us work from oldest to newest posts.Īhh. If it sounded for every download like what you want, I would shoot my computer.īTW, replying so often just pushed your question away from us. ![]() Daifne wrote:The notifier will not sound if more email comes in before you check the messages that have already arrived. ![]()
