First, I'm not sure if this was supposed to go to SH or not, but it's not a help request, so yeh. Anyway, how hard do you suppose it would be to get the sound from a YouTube video to play in your place via an HTTP request? There are websites that will extract the sound from a YouTube video and spit it out as an mp3 file for you. Are we able to do something similar and get the mp3 of a YouTube video and then play it via an HTTP request? Or can you only work with some form of text when using HTTP requests?

You can only play sounds that are uploaded to the roblox website.

Well - get ready for a tedious process, either trying to recreate them with hundreds and tousands of sounds uploaded to ROBLOX (will differ a lot from the real sound) - or you could try a just-as tedious process, converting the sounds over to some other format and try recreate them that way. With or without voice? Though... let us know when you've accomplished it. So you might come back in a year or more, depending on how well it goes. Woooooo... - As, yo MP3 >> MIDI, argh, my earz. erk. erk. SoundCloud mabi?

It's possible you could upload 5 sounds or so that are the same length, but at different pitches. Then adjust the pitch more finely in Roblox using their sounds, and you may get a vague representation of the real sound that has to be parsed into some weird format suitable for this distorted playback.

Yeh, I'm really not a Scripter, so I probably won't even try. I was just wondering about the plausibility of the idea which I figured was not very plausible.

In case you didn't understand what I said: it can be done. EOS db 0x00 ;End of String Marker

Yes, perhaps for someone that can script. As I cannot script, I cannot do this.

Android: mind explaining? The only way I can think of it playing 500 different 0.01 second sounds all with different pitches. And that's not a real solution.

Or you could not upload hundreds of sounds, and instead, upload five sounds. Then, parse the audio data and simply play those sounds in different pitch. Just like the RIDI system.
