Changing
the Sounds
If you have an ear for music, or if you
just plain like the sound of your own voice, you can hack
the Mac's sound system to play your personal faves. You also
can edit out the annoying noises in other programs and
replace them with obnoxious numbers all your own.

snth&emdash;Synthesized sounds: the
old-fashioned tones, beeps, buzzes, and
warbles created by turning mathematical
algorithms into audio waves. They're
functional but sound artificial and
out-of-date.
snd&emdash;Digitized audio (also called
sampled sounds) sounds much more real than
synthesized audio. Create digital sounds
by inputting sampling sounds through a
microphone at very high rates, then
duplicating the samples with the speaker.
Digitized samples can replicate human
voices, music snippets, and any other
noise that makes its way into a
microphone.

Hacking sounds is a pretty common thing to do, mainly
because it is completely useless, doesn't help with your
productivity, but is very easy to do and it is very obvious
when you've done it -- all the stuff we want in a good
hack.
That should give you a pretty good idea about hacking
sounds. There are many more to choose from.
