Coding Asmr

Coding ASMR

Handmade sound effects for Claude Code. Every tool call gets a pleasant, calming oldschool clicking and typing sound — as if Claude is sitting next to you, typing away.

Paste this into your AI coding assistant to install:

git clone https://github.com/artmerenfeld/coding-asmr.git && cd coding-asmr && npm run install-hooks

Requires [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) (`winget install FFmpeg` / `brew install ffmpeg` / `apt install ffmpeg`). Restart your Claude Code session after.

What It Sounds Like

You submit a prompt
  → thinking murmur

Claude reads a file
  → click → scanner loop fades in

Claude edits code
  → click → typing clicks loop

Claude asks you a question
  → question chime

Claude marks a task done
  → check jingle

Claude finishes responding
  → typing stops → completion chime

Presets

Two sound modes are included:

Default ASMR

Gentle typing, clicks, and thinking murmurs. Calm and ambient.

Senior Developer

Frustrated senior dev energy. Thinking murmurs are replaced with swearing and muttering voicelines. Random ambient sounds like coffee slurps, crisp crunching, and cigarette drags. Angry reactions on errors. Higher volume.

Switching presets

npm run preset                   # List available presets
npm run preset -- senior-dev     # Switch to Senior Developer
npm run preset -- default        # Switch back to Default ASMR
npm run preset -- off            # Clear preset (use defaults)

Switching presets applies the preset's volume and enables/disables error sounds automatically.
