What about NEW computer noises??  I'm working on an Apollo DN300 node
even as we speak -- I love it dearly, but the power supply is quite
astounding in the noises it produces.  Nothing quite like recognizable
speech (THAT would be something).  However, when I'm doing CPU-intensive
stuff like number-crunching, it makes sounds almost like tropical birds...
