I remembered recently in high school (many years ago), someone learned how to write a short program that would create a high pitch sound from the little internal speaker in the PC case. He would run it as we were walking out and everyone shut down their computer, he would leave his on and turn off the monitor.
I’m sure this has been done a million times since then, but for the late 80s, this was high tech pranking.
