Noisy LEDs
Simple generation of complex sound effects
These days there are many types of intelligent LEDs available. These LEDs flash or change their color, slowly or quickly and with different color combinations. Those LEDs that gradually change from color to color (so-called rainbow LEDs) were found to be particularly suitable for an alternative application. They happen to produce incredibly complex sounds when they are connected as shown in this circuit.
