What is Your Favourite Sound Effect From Any Game?

[OpiateChicken]

The teleporting sound from Halo CE/2

 

[Elvis Starburst]

The enemy death sound effect from Lunar Silver Star Harmony. First time I heard that in the demo, I instantly wanted the game :3

 

[Savagezion]

In all of its incarnations.
Yeah, I'm kind of a Zelda fanboy

This one is mine too. It's my text notification sound on my phone. (SNES version)

 

[Pandaman1911]

Wolfenstein 3D. Gatling gun. Just... everything about it. The little ominous three note tone it plays when you find one, your guy's face when he picks it up, and of course, the firing. It's just so loud, big, and over the top. As actually carrying a minigun around and firing it would be, I imagine.

Bayonetta has some nice effects; clashing swords, blazing guns and some dubious sighs here and there but that's like the whole package...

ow I know. The "Snikt" from the Wolverine game.

 

[Sagacious Zhu]

The little *plipplipliplipliplipliplipl* sound effect that comes from gatherina a load of blocks in Minecraft

 

[rohansoldier]

I like the sound the torque bow makes in gears when it fires, a kind of low plinking noise that doesn't really register at first but you know its happened when the shot strikes your target and they explode in lumps of bloody meat. Awesome!

Also the screams of human foes in borderlands when you shoot an incendiary weapon at them and they start burning. The sound of a burning bandit is just poetic!

 

[rohansoldier]

The alarmed sound that appears whenever a guard sees you in Metal Gear Solid. Perfect 'Oh fcuk' noise ever.

Followed closely by Mordecai's snicker in Borderlands whenever you get a crit, sums up my feelings exactly when popping skulls from half a kilometer away.

EDIT: Suck at the spelling

I know what you mean with the snicker, but my favourite one is when brick laughs after killing someone and then says 'dumbass'. Cracks me up every time!

 

[rohansoldier]

off the top of my head the big daddy 'whale sounds' in Bioshock were pretty cool.

Sorry for the triple post but I also liked the voices of the little sisters. Cute, yet decidely creepy at the same time.

 

[Vault101]

the metroid..I think "load save" tune

 

[Zhukov]

- Shodan's voice.

- GLaDOS's voice and, more specifically, that scream from Portal 2.

- The Half Life 2 Strider sounds.

- The Half Life 2 pulse rifle.

- The run-like-fuck sound in Amnesia.

 

[skywolfblue]

No love for the Siege Tank unfolding? I can't be the only one.

I'll second that, its awesome!

The most memorable sound for me would be the "your plane just got hit with bullets" sound effect from Falcon 4.0. I swear I can smell the burning metal, somehow that effect manages to trigger my olfactory senses just right. Only sound effect I've been able to "smell".

 

[Slayer_2]

The scream of rockets whizzing overhead in BF3... So freaking intense.

 

[Spineyguy]

Try this with the speakers turned up, suddenly it turns into "YOUR FOUND CARD WORKF PERFECTLY."

 

[BlindMessiah94]

The sound the peons make in Warcraft II "work work work" "yes mlord" they always made me lol. Like they're the eors of the mining world.

 

[SlaveNumber23]

Anything from Rhythm Heaven for DS xD

 

[Valagetti]

Whenever I finish a section from L4D2, the generic rock is so... generic, but its to do with Skinners box theory. Most of these posts I'll predict will be about something to do with any random sound made and that will be part of the reward process.

When you finish a campaign section on highest difficulty, that becomes the single most relaxing and rewarding sound in the world.

OT: Mine would probably have to be the sound of the Squad Cannon from Killzone 1. I bloody loved that game, dispite it's flaws, namely because it had both kickass combat and even more kickass weapons, and the Squad Cannon was the most kickass of them all for me.

Yeah Killzone was amazing and the squadcannon was great! I loved the sound of the reloading of the weapon more.

 

[Nazulu]

Either the scorpian defense towers in Command & Conquer charging up then firing, or FAAAALLLLCCOOONN PUUUUNNNCHH!!!

 

[sunthaiduc]

the orcs from frozen throne or the rogue dagger strije from wow/glados

 

[Jezzascmezza]

The sound of a near-by agility orb in both Crackdown 1 and 2.
