Sound-Driven Behaviour Automation

Three everyday sounds → three bodily states. This home page sketches how notification, alarm and knocking can subtly re-shape movement, attention and space.

Concept

This interface imagines sound as a force field acting on the body. Each sound event (phone notification, alarm and knocking) generates a different pattern of behavioural automation.

  • Notification – light attention pull, subtle re-direction.
  • Alarm – repetitive vertical motion, enforced rhythm.
  • Knock – intrusive lateral push from the boundary.

Later, JavaScript can link real audio events to these visual behaviours. For now, CSS animations give a first, visual sketch of the idea.

Page 1 — Notification

A small dot drifts freely. When a notification appears, soft waves pull the dot gently toward the corner – a mild form of attention control.

Light attention pull

Page 2 — Alarm

The dot is locked into an up-and-down loop, mirroring the repetitive urgency of an alarm that structures time and action.

Enforced rhythm

Page 3 — Knocking

A strong red wave enters from the left, violently pushing the dot to the right, visualising an acoustic intrusion into private space.
