This may be too difficult, but is there a way that you could incorporate a small speaker attached to some device that held a soundbit, that when you flipped the switch, it would play?

(I'm thinking of something like a gruff voice yelling hey!)

i'm not really in technical stuff like this, but wouldn't the 'mousetrap' thing be possible by adding a secondary device that would only work if the first was pushed x times in an x amount of time?

One of those recordable greeting cards should do the trick.
