Terminal Sound Effects

---

My zsh configuration has several aliases and wrapper functions that essentially wrap commands such that they play a sound effect when invoked. The sound effects are from Earthbound, and are stored in assets/sound. Notable examples include ls and cd which both play a sound when invoked, among some of the other common utilities, for both GNU and NixOS. For the more common utilities I've tried to make these effects as subtle as possible. I mainly did this just as a way to make the experience of using the terminal a little bit more tactile. If you wish to disable these sound effects, you can do so by changing the SOUNDS_ENABLED environment variable defined in modules/home/environment/zsh/env.nix from true to false.
