What's the funniest thing you heard while judging region auditions?

I had a kid that was obviously playing outside when a car drove by and the kid's dog went nuts. lol

Recordings done at school often have a bell ringing or an announcement over the P.A. system.

I had a few students who I made record again because I could hear their "UGGGGGHHHHHHHH" at the end of the etude.

After hearing a kid finish a bassoon etude, he/she ripped what sounded like a massive fart. Truth be told, I couldn't 100% tell between the fart sound and the kid's tone quality, but either way it sounded nasty and I'm sure it stunk as bad as the etude that was played.

"Do good, honey"
"OK mom"
Sqeaky door closes
Audition starts

I also heard some bleed through from an oboe player in the next practice room. OMG! Somebody in my region (ATSSB IV) has one heck of an oboist.

Nothing too crazy. One kid finished playing and said under his breath "well that f****** sucked."

He wasn't wrong.
