This was one of the best designs I've ever seen/printed here on Thingiverse. I can't say enough what a great job @countspatula did designing this!
The print turned out so well that I had to add some electronics to it and write some code...

I used an ATTiny85 microcontroller for the brains in my project, but you could totally use a smaller Arduino like a Nano or Pro Micro... or an Adafruit Trinket:https://www.adafruit.com/product/1501
For the sound effects:
Adafruit Audio FX Mini Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger - 2MB Flashhttps://www.adafruit.com/products/2342
Adafruit Mono 2.5W Class D Audio Amplifier - PAM8302https://www.adafruit.com/products/2130
2017.03.12 - Edited to add another code option. The file "tardis_dualmode.ino" allows for a switch to be connected to the microcontroller. this switch will allow changing to a silent mode, where you can snap to turn on and also snap to turn off. In this mode, sound will be off and the light will fade continuously until you snap again.
