I was asked how to activate an ELT for checkride prep, but I have no idea what actually happens when an ELT is activated.

Edit: Thank you for everyone who responded that it goes “beep beep beep and people start meowing” I’m very familiar with that living near several large airports. I’m more curious what is the flow once an ELT is activated. Who is alerted and what is the response?
