There is this explosion-like “swoosh” sound that was emitted in Doom by one of the big baddies, and ever since I played that game as a kid I’ve heard it in all sorts of TV shows, movies, and other games.
I wish someone did an article on that sound too!
- mdm_ 5y agoI know exactly the sound you mean, and I hear it all the time in other media too. You can hear it repeatedly starting at 1:19 in this video: https://youtu.be/GQnuj5QsJFE https://youtu.be/GQnuj5QsJFE
- Lightbody 5y agoYES!!! What is that thing?! Haha

- bitwize 5y agoYeah, I keep hearing DSBOSPIT in various places: television, movies, and other video games. When I hear it outside Doom, it seems to suggest a lack of care in sound design, because it was pulled from a sound library and because people associate it with Doom. For example, in Super Mario, Fiery Mario always had a distinct fireball sound, but in the Galaxy games? Nope -- DSBOSPIT. And I'm like, really, Nintendo? You couldn't do better? I also frequently hear some Doom mechanism and door sounds (usually DSPSTART and DSPSTOP but sometimes also DSDOROPN and DSDORCLS) in commercials, movies, and TV shows, as well as DSFIRSHT (imp/cacodemon fireball whooshing sound). Shows with werewolves or other monsters may feature the imp or zombieman sounds.
