I can still hear the harddrives spin up when someone starts watching something on my homelab. I do miss the clickies, I wonder if you could hook up the disk activity led to a speaker to create fake clicks.
Here’s an HDD synth project for that very thing I saw the other day! Though probably won’t work for your use case, admittedly. It’s intended for retro systems and goes in an ISA slot, and isn’t available for sale yet anyway.
