Sound effects in video games.

[dthvirus]

Just as it says on the tin. What sound effects in games you've played made you cringe/laugh/swear vigorously/just about anything? A sound effect is an audio clip that isn't speech, or an effect added to speech. I'll start this off here:

Laugh/Enjoyed

> Team Fortress 2: One of the Pyro's jeer. MMPH-HRNN! Keep spamming jeers, you'll find it eventually. Also, the Scout's 'wananananana...' when under the effects of Bonk!.

> Call of Duty: World at War: The 'ping' sound as the M1 Garand ejects the spent magazine after firing the eighth and final bullet. I love historical accuracy.

Annoying

> MapleStory: Savage Blow. A Bandit attack where you quickly attack seven times in a row. However they chose a sound effect like paper tearing for each hit. The horrible effect is multiplied by the fact that you can start a new combo before the last one finishes. A party of Bandits can force you to turn off your speakers.

Swear Vigorously

> Team Fortress 2: The crit sound effect in Team Fortress 2. Especially when you're not expecting it. Even worse, when it's a Sniper or Spy: All you hear is PEOW and you're a ragdoll. It really sucks when you had the volume up by accident.

> Any FPS: *tinkle tinkle* "What's that say? 'Press A to kick gr-" BLAM

Cringe

> Super Smash Brothers series: The home-run bat's Smash attack.

> StarCraft: The audio response clips from clicking on Zerg buildings used to gross me out, especially the Hatchery. Also, units entering and exiting a bunker. It made me feel like swallowing air.

That's my part. Feel free to add your own category in yours. Also, Search Bar approved, unless it's lying, which it seems to have a bad habit of.

In Halo, I like the sound produced by a Hunter firing a Fuel Rod Cannon.

As for an annoying sound, the one produced by the Medic's Kritkrieg in TF2. It doesn't sound bad when you use it, but sometimes there is a glitch that will cause the sound to continue after you have died. Hearing that for any longer than 10 seconds will drive you insane.

the sound your lancer makes when you chainsaw someone, most two most annoying sounds I can think of come from wow, the first is the sound that plays when you turn in a quest, the second is the sound that an enemy makes when they parry one of your attacks, to me it sounds like a kid hiting the bottom of a cook pot with a wooden spoon.

Enjoy: Achievement unlocked, or the crack of a laspistol when my commissar executes a guardsman in DoW
Hate: Assault rifle. Angry Staple gun.
Cringe: Hearing the Ding ding ding when I run over a mine

In Halo, I like the sound produced by a Hunter firing a Fuel Rod Cannon.

Don't forget the grunts, their dialogue is hilarious and their panting/grunting (no pun intended, or was it? ) while running away from your terror makes me roll on the ground laughing. Also hearing "extermination" from online is quite satisfying.

 

[Pielikey]

Enjoy: The heavy's death scream. You know, the "AGGHGGGHH RADHHHDHDHDAAGH"
agrivates me to no end: DUN DUN DUN DAA DUUUN! NEW NEMESIS! This makes me rage more than any other sound.

I should probably stop making TF2 related posts and go sleep now...

 

[NoDamnNames]

Scary: Snork in S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Like: the DA DA DA DAAAA noise in Ocarena of time every time you get / achieve something dont pretend you don't know what im talking about!
Hate: Navi "HEY" "LISTEN" and her twinkle sound
Cringe: Geiger counter

 

[auronvi]

Scary: The sound of Pyramid Head dragging his sword when you don't know where he is in Silent Hill.
Like: Currently enjoy the sound of leveling in Aion.
The sound of getting a headshot in MW.
The joker of the intercom in Arkham Asylum
Hate: Dogs in CoD:WaW... or any game for that matter.
Cringe: Again, the sound your radio makes in the silent hill games when enemies are near.

 

[Aardvark]

The sound of a Planet Buster. I love that noise. It's the sound of victory with a liberal splashing of "Fuck You".

Unless it's directed at me.

Anyone who played ragnarok online should instantly recognize the sheer pain of the noise a Muka made:

also here's some noise they make:

It honestly sounds like they punched a cat then looped it.

 

[GoldenCondor]

Mostly recognized, reminiscent:
DooM
- the monsters being alerted
- the monsters dying
- doors opening
- gun sounds
- doomguy dying

and these sounds have been done to death with everything else
also, i hear they came from a soundboard a long time ago.

 

[T3h Merc]

Enjoy: The ka-ching of a EXP earned in Fallout 3.
Anger: *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* Sentry Gun sh-!
Cringe: The dunnanunnanunna of being Discovered in Hitman: Blood Money.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Cringe: The drowning sound effect for Sonic games.

Like: Achievement Unlocked sound.

StarCraft Hydralisk JLAH is classic.
