• GitHub URL: Project Link

SoundSwap is a light-hearted and harmless Windows prank tool that replaces key system sounds—such as Startup, Shutdown, and USB Plug-in—with a funny custom audio clip (alert.wav). The prank is activated automatically when the user runs the bundled executable, causing unexpected (but safe) sound effects during regular system events.

This project was built using PowerShell scripting, with a focus on safety and reversibility. It modifies specific Windows registry keys to redirect system sounds to a hidden prank audio file placed in the user's Music folder. To ensure easy deployment, the script was converted into a standalone executable using the ps2exe module.

Key Features:

• Automatically swaps system sounds for Startup, Shutdown, and USB Connect with a custom alert sound
• Uses PowerShell to edit registry keys safely and effectively
• Executable version for easy prank delivery: no need for scripting knowledge
• Includes a revert script to reset system sounds back to default
• Safe, non-destructive, and perfect for tech-savvy pranks

This tool is great for friendly fun, but should be used responsibly and only with consent in personal environments.
