better use Noisli

i agree. in fact, it's almost an identical clone.

the only distinguishing feature is the submission title suggesting a use case for "roleplay"

edit: link to nosli to compare: http://www.noisli.com

It uses jplayer, but doesn't work on firefox but Jplayer works - http://jplayer.org/ .. Howler.js could be also an alternative..

Edit: most probably due to my fresh linux install lacking some codecs. thx.

For me it does (without Flash or anything)

Looks like a clone of noisili, down to the icons and the sound categories. Not cool if so.

I don't normally chime in on stuff like this but you're right it does look alot like Noisli (http://www.noisli.com/) I remember when that appeared on HN a while back as well. Nothing wrong with cloning something on your own for fun but it seems like they didn't disclaim this anywhere?

Evidently this app is extremely similar to Noisli, Noizio and ASoftMurmer. Nothing unexpected, but certainly it seems that these four apps all share a very similar design aesthetic. Would be interesting to see who was first to the punch - presumably Noisli.

This one seems as though it has more sounds available, but that's definitely still not an excuse.

I must have missed the post about noisili. This is very cool, thanks for bringing this up.

http://tabletopaudio.com/ 's soundpad feature does a similar thing.

And this one is so much better for actual RPGs, it has sounds that are much more relevant for your typical D&D session. No coffee shops or highway sounds, but instead creature growls, rattling of horse-drawn carriages, and the clanging of a blacksmith's hammer.

As a former Shadowrun player I'd rather take highway and coffee shop sounds ;-)

There are lots of systems in all kinds of settings out there, and not all of them are medieval.

Actually, it's got a coffee shop! Check out "lively cafe". And for more control, my group loves the soundpads. Click on the soundpad link or the tab. you can create some amazing environments with these.

You can have ambient battle sounds - you've never watched a movie with the sounds of an ongoing battle in the background?

For some reason this plays no sound on my Mac, in either Chrome or Firefox. Odd.

It doesn't work for me on Chrome.

No sound on my Android tablet.

not working for me, chrome, osx, ublock.

Same here. Windows, firefox, with or without ublock. Also unrelated (or maybe it is?), the audio downloads from soundcloud are returning a 429 Too Many Requests now.

I was looking for some ambient fireplace music

The cat purr recording is too close, it sounds more like an helicopter
