This trope is when somebody believes that a sound imitated or reproduced in-universe is the real thing, or when one sound is mistaken for another. The imitation can be a form of Gaslighting, or it can be made accidentally. The easiest way this can happen is when a recorded sound is played back, but sometimes a character will imitate a sound using their voice or other method, which is convincing enough to fool somebody. This can be Played for Laughs if the imitation is bad, yet is believed. A surprisingly common comedic version of this involves somebody's Growling Gut being mistaken for another noise, like thunder or a volcano. Compare Mondegreen Gag, and Voice Changeling, in which somebody mimics another person's voice perfectly. This trope applies if somebody uses a recording of somebody else's voice in-universe, causing somebody to believe the person being imitated is actually there. See also Holding Both Sides of the Conversation, when somebody out of sight provides the voice of someone else, as well as their own. Super-trope to Mistaken for Flatulence and Pain Mistaken for Sex. This can overlap with Covering for the Noise, when an unwanted noise is made, and somebody tries to distract from it by imitating the same noise again; and with Recorded Audio Alibi, when someone uses a recording to sound like they're somewhere they aren't. Can also come from a Funny Phone Misunderstanding or Out-of-Context Eavesdropping. Compare Cacophony Cover Up, in which any noise is made to distract from another. Also compare Gesundheit and Who's on First? for confusion over spoken words. See also Nobody Here but Us Birds, when somebody imitates a bird noise. This can be one possibility for a Sound-Only Death (or at least a fan theory). Note that this is not to be confused with sound effects being added in post-production, as doing so is not in-universe.

Predators: After an ambush halfway into the film, the Predators managed to capture and maim Cuchillo, one of the prey, and sets him up at the edge of a field with an audio recording of Cuchillo calling for help. Isabella wants to approach Cuchillo only for Royce, the de-facto leader, to stop her when he senses a trap; Isabella then delivers a Mercy Kill to Cuchillo via Sniper Rifle only for him to continue calling, where it turns out he's dead the whole time and his corpse is being propped up as bait. | |

Predator: Played to sinister effect, as the Predator's equipment can function as a high-tech "duck call", allowing the alien to imitate any sound, and any voice, to distract or unnerve his targets. | |

Line of Duty: Cracking up under the pressure of going undercover in a brutal gang, John Corbett is pushed over the edge when the gang tells him that they're moving into sex slavery and he's then introduced to the clearly terrified trafficked women. When the women are locked in a room and he hears horrific screaming, he can't take it anymore and rushes into the room with a gun. It turns out it was a trap and one of the other gang members was making the noise to draw him out. Lisa then slits his throat from behind. | |

Five Nights at Freddy's: Five Nights at Freddy's 3: To fool Springtrap into moving somewhere else, you have to play a soundbite of Balloon Boy's laugh via the audio devices. Given who the undead person inside the Springtrap suit is, it makes perfect sense why he'd go after it, thinking it's children he could target. In Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, to keep the animatronics hunting you away, you need to lure them to other places using pre-recorded noises of children. They think it's a new, easy target for them to catch, while in reality it was designed just right to bring them specifically in. Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: Two examples in the Ruin DLC. Firstly, various sections require you to use a replication of either Gregory or Cassie's voice to lure hostile animatronics away from key locations. Secondly, you can find Candy Cadet in the depths beneath the Pizzaplex, who will tell you a story if you find enough tokens scattered around the area. He tells the story of a mother and son who lived in a cabin in the woods, hunted by a monster before the mother captured the monster and locked it up in the basement. The boy was afraid of the noises the monster made each night, but the mother would soothe the boy by singing him a lullaby. Eventually, the monster listens and learns to replicate the lullaby, singing it to the boy when the mother is away in order to lure him into setting them free, and... that's where the story ends. Both examples serve to foreshadow the true identity of the "Gregory" trapped beneath the Pizzaplex. |

That's when an old woman from the train comes up to Butch and Sundance and starts yelling at them. From inside, Woodcock hears the woman complaining, and then hears her act terrified and Sundance threaten he's going to kill her, which makes him open the door - only to discover Sundance has subdued her and it's Butch who's imitating the old woman. | |

Looney Tunes: In "Bunny Hugged", Bugs Bunny tears his wrestling mask in half to fool The Crusher into thinking he's ripped his shorts. Bugs then disguises himself as a tailor to give him some of his usual mischief. In "Stupor Duck"", the entire plot is kicked off when Daffy Duck mistakes a radio show he hears in someone's office for a news broadcast about dirty deeds being done by Aardvark Ratnik, which gets him to change into Stupor Duck. |

At one point in Bambi II, Bambi is lured into a hunter's trap with a deer call. This is in fact Truth in Television, as deer hunters utilize such weapons to emulate a deer's bray near perfectly. Rather tragically, however, from Bambi's perspective the call is humanized to sound like his mother. | |

City Shrouded in Shadow: In one sequence, the protagonists are hiding in an office building from the yakuza pursuing them when one of the latter hears something and begins to investigate. A number of options pop up to throw them off the scent, ranging from the plausible (meowing like a cat or barking like a dog) to the ridiculous (howling like a wolf). During her playthrough, Mio Ookami (being a wolf-girl) decided to try the "howling like a wolf" option to see what would happen, and was bemused that it worked: by that point, the yakuza had already seen giant alien monsters and kaiju randomly appearing, and as a result simply accepted that random animals appearing in an office building were equally plausible. | |

Littlest Pet Shop (2012): Throughout "Door-Jammed", Sunil and Vinnie keep mistaking random sounds for werewolves. Mrs. Twombly shouts a Big "NO!" in frustration, and later, Roger howls in pain after dropping a hammer on his foot, and Vinnie and Sunil mistake that for a wolf's howl. Russell and Zoe also have noisy stomachs, and Vinnie and Sunil think it's a werewolf growling. | |

Red Dwarf: In "Can of Worms", the crew is threatened by a Mercenoid (which is a member of a race of robotic bounty hunters). To divert it, Lister throws Rimmer's dictaphone, which is playing recordings of Lister's voice, away from them in a bid to distract the Mercenoid. The ruse is seemingly revealed when the recordings of Lister's voice end and those of Rimmer's start up. However, it is then revealed to be a ploy to get the Mercenoid to pick up the device and get electrocuted. | |

Deer Hunter gives the player two devices for luring deer closer: 1) a horn that makes a noise similar to a deer grunt, and 2) a pair of antlers to rub together, which sounds like two bucks fighting over territory or does. If deer are within earshot, they will usually amble into the player's view within thirty seconds. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The monster known as the leucrotta, first introduced in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition, can imitate noises such as the voices of human beings or the sound of domestic animals which are in pain. It does this from concealment in order to lure other creatures close enough to be attacked. Auditory illusions pass as real unless the listener succeeds on a test to recognize that they aren't. The difficulty varies; the 3rd Edition spell "Ventriloquism" grants listeners a reflexive saving throw to disbelieve it, whereas the 5th Edition "Minor Illusion" only gives them the chance if they're actively scrutinizing what they hear. |

After Luke, Han, Chewbacca, and Leia are saved from being crushed to death by a "garbage masher", they shout happily. C-3PO hears them and mistakes their cheerful shouting for screams of pain, concluding that they're all dying. Two stormtroopers arrive to guard the Death Star's tractor-beam controls while Obi-Wan is working on sabotaging them. Once finished, he uses the Force to make them hear a noise behind them, making them look away long enough for him to escape. They're heard talking about it briefly: |

The Loud House: In "Left in the Dark", Lori thinks she hears a ghost moaning, but it's only the pipes settling, then Leni hears a scratching sound and also thinks it's a ghost, but it's only their cat Cliff using a scratching post. In "Study Muffin", several sisters say, "Buh, buh, buh" when they're distracted by Hugh, a man on whom they have a crush. The other sisters hear this noise and initially mistake it for a goose or a sheep. In "Garage Banned", Lori growls in annoyance. Her ditzy boyfriend Bobby, who was on the phone with her, thinks it's a gorilla. In "No Place Like Homeschool", the Loud kids hear an ice cream truck and rush outside, only to find out it’s just Mr. Grouse playing his CD of classic ice cream truck jingles. They fall for it again later in the episode. Finally, at the end of the episode, they run out of the house when they think that they're about to miss the bus. It turns out that Mr. Grouse was playing his CD of classic school bus sounds. In "Washed Up", a boat's engine makes a weird sound. Leni apologizes, thinking it's her own stomach as she didn't have much for breakfast. |

The Pink Panther: In Pink at First Sight, Pink Panther wants to get hired by a delivery service that has its messengers perform for the recipients. He goes to a music store and buys a tape player and some tapes. He lip-syncs to the songs on the tapes, causing people to think he's really singing. (Though this is excusable for him since he's a Heroic Mime who seemingly can't talk or sing at all.) Later on, when he is cornered by some gangsters, he uses the tape player again to play a recording of a police officer saying "This is the police! We've got you surrounded!" The gangsters think the police really are after them, and they hightail it out of there. | |

Police Academy: Sgt. Jones has an uncanny ability to mimic noises, and when he does it over a loudspeaker it's even more realistic. He can accurately recreate the sound of machine-gun fire. In the first film he first uses it to prank some cops, then later he does it over the police car PA system to panic and scatter rioters who were attacking the car. | |

Auditory illusions pass as real unless the listener succeeds on a test to recognize that they aren't. The difficulty varies; the 3rd Edition spell "Ventriloquism" grants listeners a reflexive saving throw to disbelieve it, whereas the 5th Edition "Minor Illusion" only gives them the chance if they're actively scrutinizing what they hear. | |

Fawlty Towers: Played for laughs in "The Germans". Just before a fire drill, Basil accidentally sets off the burglar alarm, which the guests believe is the fire alarm. Basil furiously demonstrates the difference between the alarms (the fire bell being a semitone higher), and insists that the guests only leave the hotel when the fire alarm is sounded; and then only when it sounds for the actual drill, not merely the demonstration of what it sounds like. Played with in "The Kipper and the Corpse". When Miss Tibbs shrieks from inside a wardrobe, Manuel imitates it and begins singing. Later, when Miss Tibbs is heard screaming loudly in the distance, Basil says to the puzzled Dr. Price "I'll turn the radio down". |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Squid's Day Off", Squidward is left in charge of the Krusty Krab and tries to take advantage of the situation by playing hooky from work, under the guise of running unspecified "errands", only to drive himself to paranoia wondering what SpongeBob might be doing in his absence. When he finally starts to relax, he hears SpongeBob's signature laugh outside, and thinks SpongeBob is spying on him, but when he checks, the sound turns out to be a coral branch scraping against the window. In "Gary Takes a Bath", Gary runs away from SpongeBob when the latter tries to bathe him. SpongeBob later finds what looks and sounds like Gary meowing in a tree, but when he gets to the top of the tree, he finds out that it is really an old-fashioned record player painted to look like Gary that plays an audio recording of his meow. Gary then takes the ladder that SpongeBob used to climb up the tree so that he can't climb back down it. |

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: Two examples in the Ruin DLC. Firstly, various sections require you to use a replication of either Gregory or Cassie's voice to lure hostile animatronics away from key locations. Secondly, you can find Candy Cadet in the depths beneath the Pizzaplex, who will tell you a story if you find enough tokens scattered around the area. He tells the story of a mother and son who lived in a cabin in the woods, hunted by a monster before the mother captured the monster and locked it up in the basement. The boy was afraid of the noises the monster made each night, but the mother would soothe the boy by singing him a lullaby. Eventually, the monster listens and learns to replicate the lullaby, singing it to the boy when the mother is away in order to lure him into setting them free, and... that's where the story ends. Both examples serve to foreshadow the true identity of the "Gregory" trapped beneath the Pizzaplex. | |

Also in the same episode, T.D. whistles also to get Helen's attention, which Stern mistakes for a bird. |

The Longest Day: Prior to the D-Day Landings during World War II, American paratroopers are issued toy clickers to help identify one another in the darkness of their nighttime operation. It turns out that these clickers sound almost exactly like a German Mauser rifle being cocked, as one paratrooper finds out the hard way... | |

Tom and Jerry: In The Duck Doctor, a mallard duckling gets shot down by Tom as he's flying south with his flock for the winter. Jerry takes him to safety and treats his injured wing, but throughout the cartoon, Tom keeps using a duck-call device to lure him back out, which leads to him getting shot repeatedly. After this happens several times, the duckling ends up looking like a Bandage Mummy and Jerry ties him to an anvil to prevent him from leaving until he's healed. | |

In Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, to keep the animatronics hunting you away, you need to lure them to other places using pre-recorded noises of children. They think it's a new, easy target for them to catch, while in reality it was designed just right to bring them specifically in. | |

One of the tapes in Gemini Home Entertainment warn you of being subjected to this trope, as Woodcrawlers are able to possess human bodies and then imitate sounds. Most of these being bone-chilling and desperate cries for help, they even refer to them as auditory hallucinations to further try and tell you that these possible desperate screams are just bait from fake humans. | |

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron: Little Creek has been captured by the cavalry, and is tied to a post inside the fort. He hears two hawk cries and knows that these are a query from his tribesman as to whether he's okay, and where in the fort he's located. Little Creek answers with another bird call that results in a sharp knife flung over the fort wall and piercing the ground near his thigh. None of the soldiers notice the bird calls are unusual for their species, nor that their prisoner suddenly has a tool/weapon handy. | |

Predator: Predator: Played to sinister effect, as the Predator's equipment can function as a high-tech "duck call", allowing the alien to imitate any sound, and any voice, to distract or unnerve his targets. Predators: After an ambush halfway into the film, the Predators managed to capture and maim Cuchillo, one of the prey, and sets him up at the edge of a field with an audio recording of Cuchillo calling for help. Isabella wants to approach Cuchillo only for Royce, the de-facto leader, to stop her when he senses a trap; Isabella then delivers a Mercy Kill to Cuchillo via Sniper Rifle only for him to continue calling, where it turns out he's dead the whole time and his corpse is being propped up as bait. |

In Transformers: Galaxy Force, at one point two of the Autobots are pulled over by a traffic cop. They project an image of a driver in their driver's seat and the one in the lead plays back a recording of the person they're projecting. Unbeknownst to them, the one of two people they were projecting was the President of the United States, and the recording was from a speech she was giving. The understandably confused cop simply stares as they drive off. | |

The Famous Five: In Five go Adventuring Again, Timmy the dog sighs from under the table during the children's lessons with Mr. Roland. As Timmy is not supposed to be there, George imitates the sigh, hoping Mr. Roland will think it was she who sighed the first time. In Five Run Away Together, Dick, Julian, and George make convincing imitations of the sounds of cows, sheep and horses, to frighten the not-very-bright Sticks who are camping in the dungeons, who are well and truly taken in. In Five go to Demon's Rocks, nine-year-old Tinker pretends to be a bicycle and imitates the sound of a bicycle bell so convincingly that Aunt Fanny believes somebody is ringing the doorbell. |

Wishbone: Invoked in "Twisted Tail", David records a (rather half-assed, by Wishbone's own admission) bark from Wishbone and edits it with his computer to sound like a much larger dog, to act as a burglar alarm for Ms. Gilmore's house after a wave of burglaries around town. It not only scares the hell out of the burglar but is loud enough to be heard from Joe's house next door, letting them get a look at him and identify him. | |
