    That every TV show and movie seems to re-use the same sound effects. Always takes me out of the story when I hear the same crying baby or fake “car clunking and breaking down” noises for the 1000th time.

      I was going to mention this. This squeaky metal door/gate noise is so overused in the XFiles that if I hear it in a movie today, I want to walk away. It’s been 30 years! Get a new door sound.

        Holy shit, I know exactly what sound you are talking about and it’s more than just XFiles. I never really watched XFiles, and I know what noise you are talking about. this one! . I can’t even find a name for it.

            Okay so there is also a wilhelm scream of police radio chatter. Its a female voice that trails off. Its the sound that plays when you click on a police station in simcity 2000. Ive never been able to figure out what the voice says but its in so many tv shows and movies.

            If anyone knows, please… help.

      I was watching Generation Kill, absolutely immersed because it’s amazing, then all of a sudden I’m hearing the baby cry from an interlude track on Ænima by Tool. I’ve listened to that album countless times so that was very very weird and distracting

      There is a specific growling sound that I hear in movies sometimes that I’m sure I’ve heard in WoW and the original Doom.

      Ooh gun shot sounds from 80 movies were a bang. Doesn’t matter if Clint Eastwood is in far west or 80 LA, they are the same sounds.
