Sound effects that you have noticed in films? (1 Viewer)

Watching some "Battlestar Galactica" The Captain's Hand, (2006) on PICK tonight and I noticed a sound effect that I first heard in TITANIC at the cinema in 1997/98. Its squeaky effect kinder like something being turned around may hing on door or screw being turned.

The sound effect also appeared in Species 2 (1998)








"Battlestar Galactica" The Captain's Hand, (2006)

I'm not into the new TV rebooted Battlestar, prefer the original tv show. I was just channel surfing and noticed the sound effect. Amazing ears and sound memory I have.

This rebooted Battlestar with shaky camera and zoom ins and pull outs and everyone dressed up like Hollywood downtown L.A.



TITANIC (1997)



Species 2 (1998)

Anyone else notice some sound effects that you have heard before in other films or tv shows?

I'm curious as to what the sound effect is called as it must have library catalogue title?

Last Saturday we watched "The Time Machine" and heard a Roy Rogers gunfight going on.

1960's version in the future or the 2000's version in the future.

1960.

I see do you know the scene in the film?

I think there's a sound effect that was used in Poltergeist (1982) of the beast near to the end of the final showdown where it reveals itself on the landing of the stairs and glows at Diane Freeling. Now same sound effect I have strong hunch its used in TREMORS (1989) when the creatures bust into Burt Gummer, basement.

Sound effect editor worked on both films, Stephen Hunter Flick and I'm also positive it was used in TWISTER (1996) when they try to launch the probes into the air, on the road.

Its a loin roar sound and maybe some combination of over-dubbing layers to make up one whole sound effect.

Can't remember exactly, but the only gunfire in the film is during one of Taylor's brief future stopovers before going all the way to Eloi/MorlockLand. The gunshots may not be specifically from a Roy Rogers film, but the particular sound of them was instantly familiar to me and another boomer who grew up watching western movies and TV shows in the 50s.

In so many 'jungle' movies (tarzan etc) I always get a kick from hearing our Australian Kookaburra's laughing tones ringing clear in some exotic landscape.

And there is a particular woman's scream used in many many movies because it's become an insider's foley tradition.

I wish there was someone who could explain how the Lost in Space engine sound was created (also used in the original Planet of the Apes as the ship descends).

I hear that PLANET OF THE APES sound, I hear it.

Star Trek Into Darkness. listening to the rear back surrounds only, chapter 3, 0.25.46 sound effects sound familiar and slightly manipulated that was heard during the beach landing in Saving Private Ryan, when KAHNNNNNNNNN attacks the federation office tower.

This makes me think of the Wilhelm scream.

There is a scene later in Aliens, when Bishop is aligning the uplink antenna. He takes a cable and plugs it into a receptacle. The sound is almost luxurious and I always look forward to it. Kinda weird, I know.

Back in the '60s we noticed the silencer effect on gunshots in DR. NO. And then we noticed the way gunshots sounded in the Italian westerns. I distinctly remember a friend remarking how cool the gunshots were in Italian westerns. Those are among the earliest instances I recall of noticing sound effects. Actually, I noticed something sooner: IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. That won the Oscar for sound effects and I was aware of that when I finally got to see the movie (it came to neighborhood theaters well after the Academy Awards) and I remember listening to the car crashes and glass breaking and thinking that this is why it won the Oscar. (I didn't see DR. NO for the first time until later that year when it got its first reissue on a double bill with FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE.)

Goldfinger has sound effects used in 2001 A Space Odyssey and ALIENS and there maybe a few more I not heard yet?

Watching an action war adventure this afternoon Where Eagles Dare (1968) and I couldn't help noticing a distant sound effect, explosion at 0.59.16 on the left stage channel, that I have noticed in many James Bond films of the 60's 70's and early 80's.

Another sound effect that I like is from Super 8. Later in the film, the Alien is wrecking havoc in a bus. Just as he's about to finish off his tormentor, he makes this guttural noise that is just filled with anger. I don't have to guess how the Alien is feeling.

I noticed it when I skipped though the film/bluray and only watched once. Also the scene where a guy is lift crane and something in the bushes grabs him.

I like that you posted screen shots of scenes referencing sound effects.

The sound effect that I notice consistently is that ridiculous scream when someone falls. They use it in alot of movies, and it consistently takes me out of the movie everytime I hear it. AAAAAaaaahhhhhhhhh!

It wasn't Commando? I lied, Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That scream/yell its funny. The scene where Matrix, sets all the claymores and blows the camps up I think part of the sound effect explosion was used in Rambo II and Rambo III.

1min 28sec when the look out tower gets blown to smithereens those claymores are great they repeat the same explosion multiple times.
