I notice this more with sounds than graphics. Sometimes a film will have the goblin sound from Elder Scrolls: Arena, or that one futuristic door opening sound that exists and I’m transported back. Although somehow I’m annoyed every time I hear the Wilhelm scream.
- messe 4y agoThe two that I notice these days are a pottery breaking sound[1], and the creak of a wooden door opening[2].

- kimbernator 4y agoPretty interesting that I knew precisely which sounds you meant before even clicking the links
- sidpatil 4y agoYou might enjoy this video (specific to Doom, but that game uses a lot of those sounds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bgFpss0YFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bgFpss0YFE Many of those very familiar sounds have their origin in Sound Ideas' The General Series 6000 library: https://www.sound-ideas.com/Product/42/General-Series-6000-Sound-Effect-Library https://www.sound-ideas.com/Product/42/General-Series-6000-S... .
- smcl 4y agoTip for anyone who enjoyed that particular type of video - scroll through that user decino's videos looking for thumbnails with bright yellow backgrounds. Those are the ones where he digs into tech behind Doom and Doom II, usually with some really nice, simple, visualisations. He also played through a few interesting wads - Going Down and Overboard were two of the most creative I've seen (by same author iirc)

- letitbeirie 4y agoI'm pretty sure Top Gear has used the exact sound of the siege tank from Starcraft going into siege mode a few times before.
- vlunkr 4y agoI think the Wilhelm scream is just annoying. It's an unnatural and goofy scream. I still appreciate it as a tradition though.
- tshaddox 4y agoI’m honestly surprised they get away with it, given that these days there must be a fairly large audience that‘s familiar with it (and thus anyone who screens the movie with authority to demand changes, like the director, might notice and want that audience reaction).
- tirpen 4y ago> there must be a fairly large audience that‘s familiar with it That's exactly why they "get away" with it. Most of the people who are familiar think it's funny. And it is.
- tshaddox 4y agoEven if it were funny, my point is that I would expect directors to be deliberate with when and where they put funny things in their movies.
- Findecanor 4y agoI think these days it is so recognisable that sound editors tend to put it in just as an easter-egg.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoJust comes across completely hackish when I hear that in a movie now. Cringe for the poor editor being forced to put it in as the director is giggling away to themselves about it.
- mattgreenrocks 4y agoOne common cash register in the US uses the exact sound from Sonic the Hedgehog that plays when you collect a ring. I haven’t determined if it was ripped from it or they simply share a common source. Edit: found this summary: > “Did some searching, and found out there's actually a story behind this. "Sega sold their intellectual properties to a company called Sammy, who used those sounds to make Pachinko machines. Pachinko isn't as popular as it used to be now, so Sammy has been licensing out those intellectual properties to Chinese manufacturers who make most of the cheap electronic devices for 'Merica, registers included."
- fredoralive 4y agoI'd perhaps be slightly suspicious of the explanation as Sega didn't sell IP to Sammy, the companies merged (the general holding company for the group is Sega Sammy Holdings, but in the west we mostly only see the Sega side of the business). If they got that wrong, would the rest be right? AFAIK the ring effect is FM synth generated (it's not like the Mega Drive is very good at digitised audio), so it's probably original to the game, but I suspect random cash register manufacturers are just ripping it off myself, rather than actually licencing it (are two notes and some synth parameters copyrightable in the end? probably depends on how much you can spend on lawyers...).
- Dwedit 4y agoRing sound effect is a square wave using the sega master system's sound channels, not an FM synthesis effect using the Yamaha FM chip.
- mikepavone 4y agoThis is incorrect. While some sound effects in the Sonic games on the MD/Genesis do use the PSG, the ring sound is not one of them. I double checked just now using the oscilloscope view in my emulator. Looks like the ring sound effect alternates between channels 3 and 4 depending on which way it's panned (unclear why it's done that way since any FM channel can be panned left or right).
- sockaddr 4y agoYup! Sometimes I'll hear a door opening creek or spell casting sound from Morrowind in my kid's youtube videos. I'm just waiting to hear "wololololo" somewhere now.
- 867-5309 4y agothe AoE turkey gobble sound is in just about every movie which features a turkey
- Nihilartikel 4y agoNot sure if it's the same sample, but Minecraft has a 'wolololo' tribute in the 'Evoker' enemy. They chant it and turn nearby sheep to different colors.
- donatj 4y agoI had a toy cop car as a kid in the early 90s that played this sounds effect. I heard it a million times playing with it, and I've heard it in movies and TV shows a million times since. https://youtu.be/9FxgVS7bylA https://youtu.be/9FxgVS7bylA
- pwenzel 4y agoBad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
- tehwebguy 4y agoSeems like I hear the tesla coil from Red Alert all the time
- dspillett 4y agoThere is an electricity sound clip that I hear in many places, including model Sci-Fi when something is arcing. Always puts me in mind of the AfterDark screensaver with the monkey powered clock, which used that sample when it would electrocute the chimp when it slowed down.
- EamonnMR 4y agoIs it the one Blizzard used for its title card in StarCraft Broodwar?
- rollcat 4y ago...and for every single Protoss structure warp-in.
- permo-w 4y agois this the one they use for iron man occasionally?
- dspillett 4y agoI don't think I've heard it in there. Though there is another common one from games that also makes its way into films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0dD_TACPx0#t=5m51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0dD_TACPx0#t=5m51 is one of the ones I'm thinking of.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoUgh, the children laughing one is used everywhere Also the "angry mob" one used in Fight Music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yYNgJ7OU-3k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yYNgJ7OU-3k It's so cringe; do they expect you not to notice that, hey, here's that sound clip from the '50s again? It takes me out of whatever I'm watching.
- aendruk 4y ago“Diddy laugh” seems to be the name chosen for it.
- syntheweave 4y agoThe 90's "double explosion" sound, boom-BOOoooom.
- EamonnMR 4y agoThis is one of the ones I was poking for, I think I found it: https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/EXPLOSION_-_SHELL_RICCOS_IN_AND_EXPLODES https://soundeffects.fandom.com/wiki/EXPLOSION_-_SHELL_RICCO...
- brundolf 4y agoAt one point in an Uruk-Hai scene in LotR, I swear I heard one of the Sandpeople sounds from A New Hope
- anon_cow1111 4y agoI'm tired of hearing the same exact bear stock sounds every time a bear appears on screen in any media. I swear the fx guys have been using the same 4 sounds for at least 30 years.
- djmips 4y agoIs it the Disney lamp chimney effect hahah? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdW1lGqZAv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdW1lGqZAv4
- johnfn 4y agoAhh yes!! I hear the simcity police sound in police procedural shows all the time. I wonder what the original source is, come to think of it, it’s clearly not sim city…
- nwatson 4y agoThe sound-texture of my adulthood is desktop and mobile notifications from Slack. [0] and [1] (first sound). There is some perverse ad that incorporates a subtle version of the first sound from [1] into its jingle, and I stiffen up every time I hear it. Also, Slack TV commercials incorporate [0], and many complain about it on Twitter and elsewhere, it's a "traumatizing" sound. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7iGyCdA0xk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7iGyCdA0xk [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zsCWwNnR8&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zsCWwNnR8&t=2s (first sound played)
- thom 4y agoYeah, I can imagine that’s painful. But I hope joyful sounds balance it out! One that I always notice is the TiVo bi-bip - every time I hear it on a TV show I have happy memories of a great device.

- dools 4y agoThere is this one crowd gasp I swear is used everywhere https://youtu.be/V5eaDhCVNJU https://youtu.be/V5eaDhCVNJU
- avereveard 4y agoAhah carmageddon used that.
- avereveard 4y agoYeah explosions are often taken from the sound bank that total annihilation took from and every time the intro plays in my head
- unwind 4y agoDoes the "Amen break" [1] qualify? Man, I love that one. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break
- Hikikomori 4y agoMaybe someone will enjoy this deep dive on the Roblox death sound https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI
- djmips 4y agohaha. Unexpectedly funny.
- Arrath 4y agoTo me its "that chair creak" that often gets used for people siting down or getting out of chairs, also makes an appearance as the creak of a rusty gate hinge but to me it stands out as part of the soundbyte for exiting the Command Chair in the Goldsrc mod Natural Selection.
