📋 How Mike uses this
- Recording in the bay: when a car comes in with a noisy problem, Mike pulls out his phone, opens this page, taps the mic, holds it near the noise. 15 seconds of crisp audio captured.
- Naming + categorizing: "Rod knock on the 2007 F-150 we got Tuesday" → Engine category → save.
- Building the library: after 30-90 days, MDC has the largest, most authentic broken-car-sound library in north Georgia.
- Podcast use: Mike clicks a sound button while recording an episode → instant authentic audio. No royalty-free junk. Real customer cars from real bays.
- Phone diagnostic use: customer calls Deb describing a noise → Deb plays a clip from the soundboard over speakerphone → "does it sound like this?" Triage in 30 seconds.
- TikTok content: 15-second sound clip + Mike's explanation = a TikTok post that goes viral with mechanic-community + curious-customer crossover.
