Greetings; odd request:
Somewhere, for some unk reason, there is a sound file file that plays at max volume, usually around 2 AM or slightly later, that is very similar to the 40 yo doorbell in this house. A bing-bong sound that differs from the real doorbell by maybe 5hz in pitch. Wakes me up, spoiling a good nights sleep, maybe a dozen times a year an apparently random dates.
To aid in finding it, what extension might that file be carrying to indicate its a .snd fle, which according to grep on ls -lR's output, does not exist in the thousands of files under hundreds of random names.
This file that sounds exactly like my doorbell has existed on my 24/7/365.25 on main system for at least 20 years. I'd like to A. find it, B. find what condition uses it, fix the condition, or even delete it.
How can I best do that? updatedb, followed by locate door or locate bell reports nothing.
There are now 2 different PIR based devices watching that doorbell button, which trigger on the neighbors cat walking by but remain silent when this sound jacks me up in the middle of the night.
Any help in finding this will be hugely appreciated. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
