When I accessed the top page of Obsolete Sounds, an embedded music player was displayed where I could listen to the 'sound' of a product called 'Apple iBook Duo 230.' The page says 'Apple iBook Duo 230', but this is probably the ' PowerBook Duo 230 ' released by Apple in 1992. Click the play button to listen to the sound.

Then, a rattling sound of keystrokes began to play. There are almost no people using the 'PowerBook Duo 230' anymore, so this keystroke sound is a 'disappearing sound'.

Furthermore, when you clicked the play button on the embedded player below, music sampled from the keystroke sound of 'PowerBook Duo 230' was played. 'Remix and reimagine for entirely new forms of listening,' says the Obsolete Sounds page.

Below the embedded player are various sounds that can be played with Obsolete Sounds. Click 'Info' on the right side of the item.

You can then check detailed information such as where the sound was recorded and the concept of the sampled song.
