There’s prank hardware you can buy for cheap that beeps at irregular intervals similar to this.

AnnoyingPCB?

On an unrelated note, I've been wondering how hard it would be to swap out the sound file for a screaming goat and time it to go off at a random time every night

Search for the Eviltron.

I had one with a cricket chirp sound that I hid behind a friend's glove box. Watching the downward spiral as the weeks went on was hilarious but also made me feel incredibly guilty.

With a good battery, the device can easily last for 5 or 10 years, although the walls probably won't.

For the right person, a Discord alert sound might be better. On the other hand, the sound coming from somewhere other than a device that can access it might clue the victim in a lot sooner.

Alternative: The AOL "you've got mail" sound. If you're going to have something come from the aether, that one could have them thinking there's an old computer in the walls somewhere.

USB devices don't make any noise when you plug them in. I would make it play a smoke alarm low battery beep.
