I need to get some numbers so I can generate random numbers using ambient sound.

I want something on this level pseudo code: 

import microphone
p = pitch.get()
print p

Edit:

This is in Windows 7, BTW

  • Using ambient sound will not be very random at all. Unless your microphone can listen to atom-level harmonic vibrations. – Borealid Jul 10 '10 at 04:57

Depends on the platform. On Windows, this SO question has some answers; for Linux, try this one instead.

I don't know if it is as easy as you would like but I know that it is possible to access the microphone with tksnack. I think it is available on main platforms.

microphone access should be possible with the record method of the Sound class

I hope it helps
