Comment on If you were to generated a completely random sequence of sounds, how long would it take to produce music or a voice?

It’s kinda impossible to answer, since there are infinite possible ways to randomly generate noise, for instance

I think a better analogy to infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare is randomly hitting the keys on a piano, though still, you would need to specify how the timing of the notes is randomized. If the lengths of the notes and the pauses are uniform and limited to standard lengths, eventually you would get, say Mozart’s Symphony no 5.
