That damn sound effect

[garote]

Wolf's Rain, original Japanese version, episode 19: "Dream of an Oasis", 12 minutes 54 seconds in.

A duck floats by, quacking. The sound is exactly what my iPhone wakes me up with every morning.

I'd recognize those five quacks anywhere.

I remember a few of the anime series we watched in college having stock sounds I recognized as being from Aliens.

Oh totally. Yeasr ago I also got ahold of the LucasFilm SFX CD that the creators of DOOM got almost allll their creature and environment sounds from. That was both a revelation and a profound disappointment. :D

D'oh, you beat me to it. I always thought garote was more of a "wake-up to the Wilhelm scream" kinda guy.

Yeah, but now I hear that damn thing everywhere. The cool factor is gone!!11!111!!!!!!!!

Maybe you should do your own rendition of it. 8)

Maybe YOU should listen to more Braindead Monkeys! Particularly "Beatings 1-10"

I'm particularly fond of #2. The almost-comprehensible rhythmic screaming.

Yeah, I think that would get even the most stubborn person up and out of bed. 8)

But it's a conglomeration of a bunch of sounds. I would love to hear just your standalone version of the scream.
