Chaos Lab

Tool

Sonify the attractor

Use your ears to feel the chaos. Each attractor's time series drives a Web Audio oscillator: frequency and amplitude track the normalised value. Headphones recommended.

Sonification

The chaotic time series x(t) is normalised to [0, 1] and mapped to frequency (±1 octave around the base) and amplitude. The result is an audio rendering of the attractor: the Lorenz butterfly becomes a whoosh-and-flutter; the logistic at r = 4 sounds like coloured noise; the Rössler attractor has a slower, more rhythmic feel.

Requires Web Audio API (works in modern desktop & mobile browsers). Use headphones for the full effect.
