What is Your Favourite Sound Effect From Any Game?

[Michael Hirst]

Clegane]The Wilhelm Scream.

Sure it started off in movies and is only in what? Two games so far. It's still my favourite.

This, it's a fucking classic sound that once you understand it you can never NOT notice it.

When you get healthpacks and ammo in sorce games they make that "woo chi-k" sound. i don't know why i like it, just sounds awesome

 

[CaptainKoala]

The Magic Mirror sound from Terraria, I don't know what it is but it makes me laugh every time.

 

[9thRequiem]

Aside from many that have been mentioned; The footsteps in the snow sound from Perfect Dark Zero. Done so well that I actually fondly remember the game despite the rest being sucky.

 

[JimmyC99]

ummm i think its gotta be the crossbow sound, the "Thwunk" when it nails a combine to the wall its brilliant.

 

[s0p0g]

Perfect Dark's Mauler pistol (OMFG!!!)
Q3 machine-gun + quad dmg
Q3 voice comments/announcements (voice is made of pure awesome)
Doom 3 title theme (does that count?)
Thali'zora nar Rayya vas Normandy's Voice <3
CS DEagle ^__^

Miniguns.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

The most exciting sound effect from any game:
"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSTER CROOOOWWWWWW"

Followed by Red Alert: C&C2 Yuri's Revenge: "Scorched Earth".

The occasional Wilhelm Scream the stormtroopers make in Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire.

 

[witheringsanity]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SEVENTEEN BOAAAAMMERrrrr...

lol j/k

Hunter claws clicking from Resident Evil
the "Muh heh heh heh" of M Bison (Vega) from SFA 3

 

[The_Fuzz22]

The sound of an ammo box or similar respawning in Goldeneye multiplayer on the N64.

FDRDRDRDDDDD

Just gorgeous.

 

[DSK-]

I have too many to count, but I would have to say the sound of the Quake 3/Quake Live shotgun
being fired.

The most exciting sound effect from any game:
"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSTER CROOOOWWWWWW"

Hah, I'm not ashamed to admit I know where that quote is from

The orgasmic announcer was pretty fun too

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

Now that is awesome

 

[ScrubberDucky]

I really can't think of one. I know what my LEAST favorite would be, though, the sound you get when you use the action key in HL2 and there's nothing there, or when you use the gravity gun on an unvalid target. ARGH.

 

[Layzor]

I love how the Demoman shouts "Medic".

 

[dave1004]

"STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!"

I can't think of anything better than that. Or...Hmm...

"My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood! Which can only be repaid with at least twice as much blood! Or maybe three times as much blood! Like, if you went to hell, and it was full of blood and that blood was on fire and it was raining blood! Then maybe that would be enough blood!...Then again, maybe not."

-Blood Mage, Warcraft III Frozen throne

 

[Magicmad5511]

I'm think I'll go with this.

Invookes terror and awesome.

 

[ishist]

The ZHOOP sound made when being teleported by Viki in Suikoden 2. My family still uses it as a slang term for teleporting.

A second runner up would be the level up Ding from Everquest 1. When I played it at release it was so challenging to level up that my heart still speeds up a bit when I hear that sound effect.

 

[LiberalSquirrel]

To me it's the chest openning sound from Legend of Zelda. Sure I got a few more favourite sound effects but that is the most memorable (stuck in my head).

That's my phone's ringtone whenever I get a text message. Makes me smile every time.

I have to say, the victory fanfare from Final Fantasy X always makes me feel accomplished, if that counts.

 

[John Appleby]

When a ghost expoldes on Halo CE, Halo 2. Love that sound
