Listen to the V1 bomb sound in the clip on that page - there's no surprise they're being referred to in following works of fiction.
- iamacyborg 4y agoHuh, that’s neat. You can definitely see the influence of that sound then following on into Inception which seemed to really popularise it.
- boltzmann-brain 4y agoIt's always been around. In fact it's been very popular in games like the Modern Warfare series, which have major popular appeal.
- iamacyborg 4y agoThose were definitely not a big deal (compared to now) and were a very different game back in ‘05
- Gravityloss 4y agoV1 sound comes from the pulse jet engine that runs with a "batch mode" cycle, ie there's a valve at the front that opens and closes at something like 30 Hz. The Stuka had the scare sound siren and it had a much higher pitch.
