InQuizitive is a learning management system (LMS) with great accessibility for screen readers and focuses on teaching music. One of the audio files that plays when you click "Take a Break" has a strangely OCD-inducing quality. After searching online and finding no useful results—only two mono versions that were cut off—a friend and I decided to take matters into our own hands. We opened Chrome’s Developer Tools, specifically the "Network" tab, and started logging the network requests while the site was being used on another computer. By monitoring the requests, we were able to track down and pull the audio files, including UI sounds, directly from the S3 bucket they were using. Now, enjoy the break music in its full form!

It's mainly OCD-enducing because of the slow speed of the audio, I'd think. Those with counting-related compulsions can easily latch onto the pattern of the music and follow it the other way.
