Back in the days of yore there was this thing called 'Peep, the Network Auralizer'. It made your server produce jungle sounds based on the type and amount of traffic passing through it. I had this installed on the server-under-the-stairs for a while but eventually got tired of living in the ever more crowded Amazon (the rainforest, the book store did not exist back then) and disabled it. There is a Usenix paper on this thing [1] which links to the original distribution site which - alas - no longer exists. It was mostly written in Perl and as such quite hackable so those who want to go a step beyond having your terminal bell bleep may want to hunt for an extant copy of Peep.
