There is also a commonly used sound effect of crowd cheering. I don't know what it is called, but it is used everywhere. I can't find is easily on YT, so my guess it is copyrighted.
First time I heard it was in the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, every time you did a neat trick, you'd hear the same crowd cheer clip. I thought it was really annoying (I must have been ~14 yo at the time). Later as I got older, I started to recognise the same clip everywhere, with the same effect as you describe (immediately snapping you out from suspension of disbelief).
It is also used a lot in 'live' audience reactions, such as talent shows, stand up comedy, sitcoms, etc.
- erenst 3y agoThe cheering sound is probably from Audience Response Duplicator (or: Laff Box). There's a good episode [1] about it on 99% invisible. [1] https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-laff-box/ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-laff-box/

- Etherlord87 3y agoOnce I made myself a marathon of watching James Bond movies, I noticed a particular sound of a gun ricochet, reused multiple times throughout the series. Then I started noticing it in other movies as well. I also often notice sounds from Heroes of Might and Magic III in movies, probably coming from some sound bank…
- lvncelot 3y agoAnother one for me is a sound bite of kids laughing which I first noticed in Diddy Kong Racing's boot screen[1] and now I hear everywhere [1] https://youtu.be/_TtOPPKEqRI?t=10 https://youtu.be/_TtOPPKEqRI?t=10

- smazga 3y agoI don't know if they were stock sounds, or just lifted from the game, but so many bad shows use the police radio and fire engine siren from SimCity 3000.
