Take a large soup tureen and drill, in a verical line, down one side, a number of holes that are similar in size to those found on a recorder, or penny whistle.
Then, cut a square from the the opposite side. Cover the opening with pyrex or some other translucent material. Reattach the removed square
on sliders, to create an adjustable aperture.
Place the instrument over a squawking parrot, howler monkey or other noisy creature. Close the sliding aperture and, having confused the animal into thinking it is night, silence will ensue.
When your fingers are limbered up, slide up the aperture to allow in light, which should start the creature making its noise. Finger the drilled holes to alter the note emitted.

Where do the fish come in? |

Named after the inventor, I believe. |

3 down: one word, 9 letters, 'kind of like a cacophone' (adj.) |

I thought I made that word up. |

Oh. I thought you were being really clever and witty. |

what, me? sorry to disappoint. |

Cats would probably just meow alot, wanting to be let out. They would probably bat at your fingers, too. :) |

And wildcats would rip your fingers off - which would probably alter the sound, now that I think about it. I can see a cult star for the fishophone being named "Stubby" or "Mittens." |
