Best audio prank ideas


I was going to add this to another thread - but this deserves its own.

I have a plan to use a spare spot in the switchboard / fuse box to power something I can place under a floor, or above the ceiling.

It will randomly make the sound of a cat.  Maybe activated when it is dark?

At some point, I won't be here but someone new will be.  They will switch all the RCDs on.  Let the fun begin.

"Do you hear a cat?"

I know how the kitchen down lights are wired - I could just add it to that circuit?  There is a secondary switch which isn't wired both ways and that has caused me grief thinking that the lights have stopped working.

I know people have a compulsion to have a switch in the off position - no, that won't be off - it will be cat on.

Repair techs have certain initiations for the new guy, such as handing them a fully charged capacitor.  At a local shop, a new worker was a high schooler working part time.  When he was about to switch on a newly repaired amp, a bunch of us quickly left the room which made him worry about what might happen.

It is highly unlikely I would ever do this.  I mostly understand it to be not cool in a house that I wouldn't be in.  I think I play this prank on a friend that occasionally crashes out on my couch.

I am trying to write a story about a new tenant who got too involved with The Quantum Cat experiment, became a pig (that only he and I can see) and can hear a cat in the wall.

I admit this is not much to do with audio.  The thread will likely be deleted.

We used clap hands real loud near the head just as a tech was making a tentative connection, or powering something up.

I am guessing you are under 30.

 

And that would explain a lot....

Oh, please don't delete this thread...

If I were you, I would try to sell this idea to Ashton Kutcher he isn't doing anything. Enjoy the music

well for ideas and for sheer fun i recommend the facebook page: "Roase My rig" yup people putting pictures of thier system for a good old roasting. all in fun of course. 

I probably wouldn’t notice cat sounds, but bunny sounds - YES!

@dekay ,

Yes, carrot crunching sounds are known to be quite omnidirectional.

Sneak in during the night and swap left and right interconnects... Tee hee heee!

I know it’s all in good fun but messing with a man’s audio system is like messing with his car, it’s just not done.  I suppose it’s true for women as well who pursue those interests.
