Talk:Stock sound effect

Howie Scream and Surprised Crowd

Could someone start articles for these two stock sounds. Yes, the Wilhelm Scream's more popular than the Gut-wrenching Scream And Fall Into Distance, but it deserves an article, it's used often. The same goes for "The Surprised Crowd", I've heard that startled gasp frequently in movies, e.g. "Meet the Fockers". Could someone please do these two articles? This will be highly appreciated --116.240.220.47 (talk) 09:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

ancient greece

well, so "A stock sound effect is a prerecorded sound effect" and on the other hand, as said in the history subscetion "From at least as far back as Ancient Greece, sound effects have been used in entertainment productions." You don't want to tell us, that in ancient greece they had (pre-)recordings, right? ;-) Maybe better describe what sound effects in ancient greece actually is supposed to mean... --Jurgensen (talk) 12:46, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Diddy Laugh

As the `child`s laugh` sample predates Diddy Kong Racing (1997) by many years, and the references for Diddy laugh on forums such as reddit refer to single blog, isn`t this naming wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.37.193 (talk) 10:30, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Howie Scream

This needs a source, but the Howie Scream is notable for sometimes being used to depict things other than humans screaming. It is recognizable, for example, among the sound effects used to depict the engines of TIE fighters in the Star Wars films. There are some YouTube videos illustrating this. 136.159.160.5 (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Dolphin chirp

The Dolphin Chirp Stock Sound Effect has debuted in the 60s in the film "Flipper" and is ubiquitous nowadays, now being heard in hundreds of media. It is also used as a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Sailor Mouth" due to SpongeBob using it out of context. 91.94.16.130 (talk) 19:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
