IF you want REALLY unexpected sounds, you can use any wav as the impulse file.

Yep, ...but I don't think white noise would do it either.
What's needed is a transient.
At a pinch, you could get each choir member to clap their hands.
To make a profession grade impulse, you need a high quality
speaker to play a frequency swept sine wave(called a chirp).
Then back in the studio you take that recording and convolve it
with the reverse of your sine sweep.
...and sadly, the broken speaker idea wont work either, a broken speaker doesn't have a linear response.
The ideas may still make great *unexpected* sounds of course.
