SoundCover
If you’ve got a cellphone and you want to masquerade your location, you might want to check out SoundCover. This little program runs on your phone and will play background sounds during your call to make it sound like you are in a different environment.
Did you wake up late for work and you want your boss to think you’re caught in traffic? Select the Traffic Jam background and give him a call from your bedroom. Is one of your mates a chronic talker that just doesn’t know when to stop? Use the Phone Ring 15s background and your friend will hear a phone ring 6 times, 15 seconds into the call. Tell him that your other phone is ringing and that you have to go.
Considering the bad sound quality over a cell phone, someone might just be fooled by this thing. The Circus Parade is hilarious — complete with whips cracking during a trained animal performance. How often would you need to fake being at a circus?
So what’s next? A program that alters your voice as you speak? Maybe it changes the pitch or adds sounds effects like echo and reverb. I want the sound effect that makes me sound like a speech synthesizer. “Do you feel like we do?” I couldn’t resist.

HIlarious! I didn’t realize that there was that much whip cracking at a circus. The person recording that sound bit might have been close to the “S & M” tent.
Of course, once everyone starts calling the boss from the circus, they might eventually catch on to the whole scam. Eventually, since hey, we are talking about people in management.
