Like the infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare, but with audio instead.

If there was a program that created a series of sounds at random intervals, pitches, amplitudes, etc., how long would it take to produce an output that sounds like music, some sort of recognisable recording (e.g. a bell ring, a dog barking), or perhaps even a human voice?

      Honorable mention in particular: Short snippets of white noise sound like a snare drum.

        Back when I would stay up too late playing World of Warcraft, my computer fan would occasionally speak to me.
