Attached, I've created the Pac-man, Ms. Pac-man, AC/DC's Thunderstruck, and Super Mario Bros. Victory tunes.
Drop 'em in the /usr/local/etc/opnsense-beep.d directory and, if you're like me, you can rename the start and stop beep tunes to these to have OPNSense play a nifty tune instead of the usual ones.

That is entirely too much work for me to take on right now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Would you mind if I did it?
Mind? I would LOVE if you did it! As a token of my appreciation, here's a bunch more I made.
And a few more
And finally, my favorite...I'm such a nerd...
Who says technology has to be boring? And I'll leave y'alls with a little anecdote:
A good friend of mine's father was a repairman for hospital equipment and traveled all over the world fixing specialty equipment no one else would touch. He got a call that this one particular ultrasonic wave maker (for breaking up kidney stones and such) was randomly making weird noises. Every time he went to look at it, it was working fine. He spent DAYS sitting with the machine, trying to get it to make "weird noises", but nothing. After 2 weeks of sitting with the machine from 9am to 9pm, he decided he was going to sleep next to the d*mn machine and catch it in the act. After 14 hours of continuous non-use (wouldn't you know it?) it actually misbehaved! The programmers of the machine (who were from the Netherlands) thought it would be HYSTERICAL to have the machine "hum out" the Netherlands' national anthem after 14 hours of not being in use. Not a bug, but a feature. No way to disable it.

Haha, cool story. Probably something like that should happen with opnsense too.

I've taken the liberty of putting all your fun beeps into a single tar archive to make it easier to sample all your work.
Many thanks for publishing these, I've changed my "start" beep already.

Someone: provides a plugin
Everyone: can you add 1000 configuration options and a cron schedule for it?
:)
Nice work, BTW, thanks!

I am very good at saying NO!
And here's a few more for y'alls! This is fun!
And a few more.
I just KNOW I'm going to regret asking this, BUT, any requests?
Keep in mind we're dealing with a single note speaker. Most songs and stuff won't sound good on a single note speaker without serious work, and unless I'm a huge fan of the song, I probably won't bother with it.
This idea deserves not only a plugin, but also a pull request!!!
;-)
I LOVE that y'alls love the custom beeps, but for most people (at least my clients), the OPNSense hardware resides deep inside a closet, or a basement, or some other non-populated room. I made custom beeps for my own amusement. Do you think a pull request for custom beeps is really worth the developer's time?
It was half (or less...) a joke, but a PR as a plugin could probably be taken into account, if it satisfies the plugin requirements and structure (https://docs.opnsense.org/development/examples/helloworld.html#create-an-installable-plugin) and here (https://docs.opnsense.org/development/backend/legacy.html) too.
I think it should have a button to play the selected item, as rebooting the machine is rarely done. It would just call the "beep" script, I suppose.
I can't code, but would have already built it for my own use, at least.

If I had the spare time, I would have most definitely written a plug-in for this. I love customizing audio stuff. Maybe down the road...
