If you work at a Co with a large infra:

Connect the speakers at full volume, and program the servers to emit a fast
shrieking/screaming sound if between 12am and 6am whenever the logs are
rotated or an FTP download of more than 6 MB occurs.

Worth the trouble just to see the graveyard shift working with little light
jump out of their seats in their cubicles.

(Actually, back during the Netscape 1 days, Netscape programmed their FTP
server to emit a cannon boom sound every time a download completed as a way
to celebrate the launch of the product to the world)
