I was temped to say any sound source that is based on measuring a 
real-world physical phenomenon like a Geiger counter generating clicks 
when an atom undergoes radioactive decay, or a Geophone outputting a 
signal when tectonic plates are moving somewhere on the other side of 
the planet!  These physical phenomena are difficult to easily voltage 
control!
