If you could somehow replace the 404 series of error messages on server to speak in Gandolf's voice "You shall not PASS!" ?
Especially if someone was to try and be smart and access a directory on your server that you wouldn't want them to and they get instead Gandolf's booming voice saying that line towards the end of the first Lord of the Rings movie .... Lol to me that would be just awesome :)

you can change all the error messages... just so you know :)
its standard html

But wouldn't you need to add JAVA or PHP coding to get it to play a media file ? Well on the other hand it might lead to a security hole linking your server's error message html file to media unless you add it to your server's directory ...
I do remember that exploit that had to do with Apache and the default "It works!" message but wasn't this an exploit with a lot of the server's default test page ? ... :/
There's also a way of finding these exploits with servers using advanced Google operands and search terms if I remember correctly .... But there's always the risk of coming across a honey pot, which, I think, emulates a certain exploitable server or OS that traps the attacker by logging his attack ....

Your given alternative would fit more for the 401 or 403 error. 404 is when something you requested does not exist on the server.
Also you can change your error pages to whatever you like. Also FLASH would be a better solution as it loads much faster than the Java applets. If it's just the sound then embed it into a html page like they do it on shitty 90's html pages.

You can embed a sound track with html , i've been doing it
