Stock Sounds

[Grizz]

So, obviously DT uses a lot of cliche stock sounds in their songs, particularly in Metropolis Part 2.
For example, I've heard the exact female gasp (erroneously attributed to Julian on the Metropolis 2000 video clip) used in South Park. Victoria's scream is basically the female Wilhelm scream, with the first vocalization repeated at the end for extension.
So I guess this thread should be for general discussion of the stock sounds, but out of curiosity, does anyone know where they get these sounds? I doubt they're part of Warner's private library if Wu Tang Clan is using one of them.

Dat thunda clap

[TheAtliator]

I was so disappointed when I noticed my thunder clap that comes with Garage Band as a loop sounded familiar.. 

Shame, because most of the keyboard sounds sound quite original and distinctive.

[Rodni Demental]

At least it's a genuine sounding thunder sound. My keyboard makes terrible sounding thunder noises..

Listen!  Do you smell something?

[King Postwhore]

 Don't cross the streams Hef.

In  Queensryche's Mindcrime at the beginning "Dr. Blair Dr. Blair, Dr. J Hamilton Dr. J Hamilton".  Heard that many times in other media, always wondered who did it first.

It is just a general sound library.  I think Mike Portnoy said, maybe in the DVD commentary.  I have heard that scream so many goddamn times.  I should have kept a list.  Funny thing is, the places I have heard the sound being used are every from moderately budgeted films to big budget films.  So why use a free sound?

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

It's a friggin' thunder. It's not like they need to make an extensive search for sounds when you have them at hand. Why would that disappoint someone?

[JiM-Xtreme]

What's awesome is how they make dat thunder fit perfectly with the rhythm of the music.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Tordenperle Krall. Literally.

Better than the thunder in Trial of Tears

[Metropolis Pt. II]

What blew my mind was when I heard a Radiohead song (I think?) and it had the same extended sound effect from Finally Free, with the car door closing, and the footsteps going up to the house and everything. It was weird.

[gentaishinigami]

Heard the Victoria scream from Finally Free in an episode of Tosh.0 (where he spoofed The Matrix).  Did a triple take on that one.  Didn't realize that was a sample at the time, and thought Tosh sampled DT 

Since then I've noticed it in a several places, but none I can still remember.

[The Letter M]

I remember hearing the "Finally Free" Victoria scream in an episode of NBC's Heroes during their first season. I was like "Wait...was that...yeah...it totally was!"

[ReaPsTA]

I heard the wind sound effect from the beginning of ITPOE Pt. 2 in the beginning of some StarCraft 2 promotional video.

[Architeuthis]

The Victoria scream at the end of scenes is hideous, sounds awful and kind of takes away from the song..

[RaiseTheKnife]

Better than the thunder in Trial of Tears

That's not  thunder Grizz -- its a badass sound effect that represents the wasteland -- and it works.  Love that part of the song.

[Grizz]

No, I'm pretty sure it's storm sounds for the rain motif.

[Zook]

The Victoria scream is in The Butterfly Effect too.

Which is stupid because a little girl is supposed to be screaming if I'm remembering correctly.

[RedKlouD72]

"Who wants four? Who wants the hard four"  is heard in the bridge of 'Home'. It's a male Craps dealer saying it. Sounds kinda weird. Sounds kinda like "Who wants more? Who wants the hardcore?"

Well anyway,  that can be heard on the casino floor in this old computer game I used to play. I think it was Hoyle Casino 2003.

[Grizz]

Well yeah, I heard more and hardcore because of the female orgasm happening in my other ear.

[Lowdz]

In  Queensryche's Mindcrime at the beginning "Dr. Blair Dr. Blair, Dr. J Hamilton Dr. J Hamilton".  Heard that many times in other media, always wondered who did it first.

Motley Crue used the same sample at the beginning of Dr Feelgood's intro. Lazy, as its not a big jump to assume a QR fan might listen to the Crue.

[Buddyhunter1]

Well yeah, I heard more and hardcore because of the female orgasm happening in my other ear.

Speaking of which, is that a stock sound too? Anyone heard it somewhere else?

[dparrott]

Not a stock sound, but I was like  when I first heard Chuck D say "Come On!" in the Take The Time intro.

[aprilethereal]

Well yeah, I heard more and hardcore because of the female orgasm happening in my other ear.

Yep

[BlobVanDam]

I was watching TV just now, and an ad came on with a very familiar stock sound effect. Luckily, I found it on Youtube.

Wow! Good call, I don't think I would have noticed that unless you pointed it out to me!

The "Victoria Scream"

Also here

The footsteps at the beginning of The Root of All Evil are also in the old Thief games. Boy, that game had great sound effects for its time.

Talking about stock sounds and video games, the one I hear the most is the opening/closing door from the earlier Hitman games, I probably heard that effect in a couple of dozen movies.
