I've noticed how annoying those greeting cards with sounds can be, especially when the battery just keeps going until it dies! I'm looking for a source where I can get blank audio modules. For instance, this past Christmas, my mother-in-law gifted my two dogs a bunch of those loud rubber chickens, and she thinks they're hilarious (she only hears them on the phone since she lives 2 hours away). I can easily design the card myself, but I'm curious if anyone knows where I can find those audio modules because I'm definitely planning on giving her as many as possible. Also, I've got a follow-up prank idea in mind called 'Geneva does not approve,' which involves a 10-inch epoxy resin box that will create a similar never-ending annoyance should someone activate it. It has sound ports designed to zigzag the sound in a tricky way, making it even more unfair!

You could consider something like the Annoyatron—it's not exactly DIY, but at just a few bucks each, you can really ramp up the prank level. Just search for it online!
If you're into simple tech, there are also DIY options that are quite easy to put together and super annoying. Check out this tutorial on Instructables for a miniature beeping circuit prank!
That sounds like a fun project! I love pranks that are simple but effective.
You might want to search for 'recordable voice module' or 'recordable greeting card module.' There are tons of these products available online that could work for your project!
I thought about using those too, but knowing my MIL, she wouldn't take them seriously. Seriously, she might not even know the noise is fake! The chicken prank is definitely the way to go.
