| Aug 26, 2018 at 3:39 | comment | added | uhoh | Thanks again. There are certainly lots of people in the world in my not-exactly third world situation; it's hot so I have a fan running 24/7 so need to keep volume high enough to hear the quiet moments (especially people who dramatically modulate their spoken volume in order to sound "interesting") yet the walls are thin and/or windows are open so loud sounds disturb neighbors late at night. I'm "boxed in" in terms of acceptable sound levels. However these people are less likely to actually go out and pay for an app. Oh well, thanks! | |
| Aug 26, 2018 at 3:18 | comment | added | sudo | @uhoh You could probably rig something up through GarageBand as a first pass just to test the rest of the pieces. I'm not familiar with any of the libraries for handling audio... except for in Java, bleh. I'd probably give it a shot if it were a more important problem. | |

| Aug 26, 2018 at 2:56 | comment | added | sudo | @uhoh I didn't, but I also didn't try very hard myself. There is Soundflower that acts as both an audio input and output, piping from the input to the output. There's probably some other tool that could take the Soundflower audio input, apply the normalization, then output to wherever. But it might be clunky unless you program a little menu bar app to do it. 2014... back then I didn't know any of that stuff; I was a kid graduating from high school instead of a Google engineer! | |
| Aug 25, 2018 at 18:14 | comment | added | uhoh | I was about to ask a similar/same question but a quick search found yours... from 2014! Did you ever find a solution? I wouldn't care if it altered the "experience" somewhat - it could temporarily mute or even pause the video or audio in my browser or viewer, as long as I could be sure it would stop/block a sudden increases in sound level. | |
