My house is about half carpet, and half hard flooring. Many years ago my wife and I bought a package of little plastic balls with bell inside for our cats. We were soon asking ourselves the question "what were we thinking?". No alarm clock in the world can do a better job than a jingle ball on a hardwood floor at 3:00 in the morning. After a brief discussion about possibly suing the company that made the d**ned things, the human staff (my wife & I) went on strike, and managed to repossess them. We could sleep, & they eventually got over it. I think they're still locked away in a lock box somewhere.()
Lesson learned, and with the exception of an occasional bottle cap, all their toys have been the soft & furry variety.
I learned that lesson a LONG time ago when I had my first cat as an adult. 3a.m.: Jingle, jingle, jingle BAM!!!!! (as it hit the wall). Jingle, jingle, jingle BAM!!!! I said NEVER again. I think I do have some around here but they came in a Christmas stocking.
I'll tell you what most cats go crazy over...........those plastic rings that are around the tops of milk cartons ! I've never met a cat that doesn't love them. Even Lucky, who is not a super playful cat like that, goes crazy, flipping it up into the air and acting like a kitten again.
One time I moved the sofa to clean and found about a dozen of them under it.

My Electra LOVES those things. However, the last one we gave her, she was "YOWLING" over it at 3 in the morning. My husband said, "That cat is possessed." I hated to take it away from her because I know she loved it so much but we need our sleep.

Cat
Fortunately none of my cats has ever become that attached to any of their toys. But I know what you mean, when they sing the song of their people it can be quite unnerving and not compatible to human sleep patterns.
OP, problem solved. Stop throwing wine corks to the cat.
