Oh my yes.  The Model 33’s and the 2741s…  The timer setting off the ball rotate to remind you the computer is tapping its foot...

But all is not lost for those from the ‘80s.  There is

a terminal emulator prepared to mimic screen curvature, flicker, visible scan lines, etc.

Sadly you are missing three important features in your emulation.  First the noise and the second associated motion of the carriage as the printer did its thing.  (The movement of the 'ball' (cylinder on a TTY) was magical and made it quite set of sounds you will never forget - often duplicated in the movies).   But the hardest thing to simulate is the distinct smell of light machine oil that all terminal rooms had.
