Check out this story I found browsing the USENET archive, its hilarious:

It also reminds me of the time I was working with a Sinistar. I just bought
it - didn't work at all, so I had it on and was poking around inside the
unit with a logic probe/voltmeter to check for voltages and clocks. I
must've bumped something loose or shorted something because all of a sudden
it let out with the singature "RRRRRRRRROOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!" at what sounded
like full volume. I banged my head on the monitor cross member and proceeded
to soil myself.

Damn, that must have been one hell of a surprise. Sinistar must have been in a bad mood...
 
He probably had a loose fuse clip and shorted it with the voltmeter probe. If the volume was turned all the way up, that roar will sound pretty ferocious when your head is in the cabinet.

Never had it that bad, but I have had the sound kick in while playing with the wiring harness. It can be very startling.
