Where I grew up in Brazil, car audio was everywhere. Trunks open on the street, bass hitting you in the chest, and you could literally see the sub cones pumping from across the block. I used to just stand there watching them. I think that's when I figured out music isn't only something you hear.

Fast forward, I work in an office now and spend most of the day on headphones. Good headphones, great sound, but I always missed that part where you could see the bass. My second monitor was just sitting there doing nothing, so I had a kind of dumb idea: what if it became a speaker? One that reacts to whatever's playing in my headphones, like those subs in the trunk.

I'm not a developer. I built it with AI (vibe coding, if you want to call it that), and it was not just typing a prompt and done. Getting the cones to actually move with the low end and not just shake randomly took way longer than I expected.

It's called SONORA. Still early, but it works. Since you guys know what real subs look like when they move, I'd honestly love to hear if it looks right to you, or what's off.

There's a free demo in the comments if anyone wants to try it.
