Matju, how about an elephant talk synth?
may be it could also be a default patch loaded at start,
a pd-jingle, hey! :))

may be we could ask Him to do some for us too?
pd could have some sound effects ..like add an object could play a
bubelly sound and deleted object shall play an appocaliptic trumpet :))
