It was being broadcast live on BBC2.
The commotion started just as David Silva was picking out Switzerland as the final team in Group A.
And the former Manchester City star did not know where to look as the erotic-style noises could clearly be heard echoing around the Hamburg arena.
Presenters, including stunning Esther Sedlaczek, did their best to carry on through the disruption, with Uefa bigwig Giorgio Marchetti acknowledging: "We have some noises."
However, Rangers and Denmark icon Brian Laudrup struggled to keep a straight face on stage as the draw continued.
While Germany team boss Julian Nagelsmann seemed to be trying to suppress a giggle when the camera panned to him.
It soon emerged that the stunt was pulled off by infamous British prankster 'Jarvo'.
He previously hit the headlines in January last year when he played an identical prank on Gary Lineker on BBC1's live coverage of Wolves vs Liverpool in the FA Cup.

On that occasion he had hidden a mobile phone to a chair in the Beeb's studio with the sound set as its ring-tone, and continually called it.
It appears Saturday's prank was the same.
Reacting to the prank on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "These guys are so composed I'd be losing my s***."
A second said: "Jarvo is such a menace lmao."
A third said: "Wtf was that noise during Euro 2024 draw."
Another said: "Naah this man is unstoppable."
However, some fans were not happy with the antics and slammed "Jarvo" for the act.
One fan said: "Grow up you imbecile."
Another said: "Ruining big occasions aint funny."
One simply wrote: "What a loser."
The draw itself saw England land a group against Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia.
