It really is interesting that we generally don't utilize sound as much in development as our other senses. One reason many of us don't might be that we listen to music as a way to focus while coding?

Sort of related, but I was monkeying around on MonkeyType the other day and turned on the 'pentatonic scale' key sound effect... and it seems to help me be more consistent with my typing? It's quite interesting and rather unexpected. (If anyone knows how I could recreate that sound effect globally, I'd appreciate it!)
