Collins, CO Lines: 25 I was talking to my neighbor the other night, and he had just had gas logs installed. I've been thinking about getting a set myself. The one think we hit on that is missing, though, is the *SNPA*CRACKLE*POP* of a real fire with real logs. Anybody have any good ideas of how to build a sound generator that could produce such sounds? Bear in mind that to be realistic, the sound must be random, and volume should also change randomly (I really like the occasional load *POPS* that you get when you burn wood that is slightly wet, or partially green!). Going further, can this be done with a simple speaker? I'd like to mount something behind the metal grid of the fireplace. This is not IN the fireplace, but in the air cavity that surrounds it (it's a metal insert). Will an ordinary (or non-ordinary) speaker hold up to a fair amount of heat? Thanks for any ideas! -- Disclaimer: All spelling and/or grammar in this document are guaranteed to be correct; any exseptions is the is wurk uv intter-net deemuns,.
