Well, since geeks are by definition weird... :-P

I think it's the fact that the balls don't actually make any sound, they 
just trigger an electronic sensor which then plays the sound. I mean, 
the computer could trigger the sound even if the ball doesn't hit, and 
fake the whole thing.

It would be /far/ more impressive if the physical impact of the balls 
actually make a real sound, with no electronic trickery. (On the other 
hand, I suspect it would be difficult to put the necessary kinetic 
energy into the ball without firing it half way across the building 
first...)
