SUGGESTION:SOUND EFFECTS #629

This terminal is great, but it could be even better with sound effects (e.g. old CRT scanning sound, high-pitched). For some, this may be undesirable, so it could have a volume control in the settings.

Since most of us work on notebooks without external keyboards nowadays, I'd also consider adding (options) clicking sounds for keystrokes, mechanical-keyboard like.

I don't think even modern speakers can make a sound as high-pitched as a CRT makes.

Some terminals made a synthetic clicking sound with their speaker when you typed. And they made a loud beep called the "bell" when ^G was received.
