Most Wonderful Sound (Sugar Wiki)/Film

Examples of |the Most Wonderful Sound in include:

Vanity Plates and Logos

 * Film examples don't start without THE sound to end all sounds. Let's hear it in THX.
 *  THE AUDIENCE IS NOW DEAF. 
 * Similarly, the Universal Logo. There's just something about that fanfare...
 * Two Words. Jerry & Goldsmith.
 * The Disney logo. The little bit of music...brings back memories.
 * Any Vanity Plate that is not Nightmare Fuel tends to induce nostalgia and ends up as this.
 * Especially this and this, both from Disney.

Individual Films and Franchises
"Peter Venkman: "Doeeeee..." Ray Stanz: "Rayyyyyyy..." Egon Spengler: "Egonnnnn!" The Take. Fascinating Eyebrow."
 * To many a Batman fan who'd been skeptical of Heath Ledger as The Joker and really wanted to be proven wrong, his Evil Laugh at the end of the first The Dark Knight teaser filled their hearts with warmth as a chill traveled down their spine.
 * A lightsaber igniting is a movie sound Star Wars fans love.
 * No, every sound a lightsaber makes.
 * Similarly, Darth Vader's breath mask. Even the prequels and the worst Big No in the series couldn't take away from the chill when Darth Vader takes his first tech-assisted breath.
 * That "powering up" sound when Han pulls on the levers and makes the Falcon jump to lightspeed never fails to send a thrill down my spine.
 * If you're playing the Empire in Empire at War FoC. "Death Star ready to fire" means an enemy capital ship, or their planet is about to die.
 * The unique roar of TIE fighter engines.
 * Which is the reversed sound of any giant lizard in a sixties 'Lost World' movie.
 * According to the source, it's traffic on a rain-slick highway mixed with the trumpeting of an elephant.
 * Lasers from TIE and Rebel ships.
 * "Seismic Charge... Standby!... Standby!..." "TWAAAAAANGGGGGG!!!!!!!"
 * BO SHUDA!
 * Ben Burtt makes Most Wonderful Sounds for a living. And he is really good at his job.
 * The low descending note, BWOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo if you will, just prior to the Death Star's main laser firing.
 * To the man pulling the switch, however, it was anything but wonderful.
 * Roger roger.
 * How is it nobody has mentioned R2-D2's beeping?
 * Nearly every sound effect in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, given that they originated in classic video games.
 * In the The Lord of the Rings films the Ringwraith scream is one of the most chilling, coolest sounds ever. It's actually a slightly pitched-up recording of a shriek delivered by Peter Jackson's LOTR co-writer/co-producer and wife Fran Walsh. As PJ tells it, he asked her if she'd like to try, and when she did, the sound guy almost fell out of his chair.
 * Alternately, the car-stalling glub noise the Nazgul-steed makes in its death throes.
 * The very voice of the Ringwraiths, especially when interrogating that farmer: "Ssshhhhiiiiire...Baaaaaggginnnnssss...."
 * The roar of Godzilla.
 * The first sound recorded for the Big G was a bird-like chirping; used later for other monsters. Gojira's original roar is a double-bass's strings being rubbed with a cloth covered in rosin. Slowed down and re-recorded. It has been modified to sound like speech, notably in Son of Godzilla.
 * The sound it makes when "charging up" its energy breath.
 * Honk honk.
 * That metallic clang Cap's shield makes whenever he hits somebody is the harbinger of righteous, AMERICAN, asswhupping.
 * The Wilhelm Scream.
 * And the YEEAAAARRGGGHHH scream.
 * The raptors and the T-Rex roar in Jurassic Park
 * That horrible (yet awesome) mechanical "GROOOOAAAAN" noise that plays when a Terminator is doing something... Terminator-y.
 * The sound of the Ghostbusters' proton packs charging.


 * And by extension, any time this effect is used on other instruments of doom powering up.
 * Ecto One's siren.
 * MRAOOOOW! MRAOOOOOW!!! MRAOWWWWWWW!!!
 * Chi-chi-chi-ha-ha-ha
 * Everything Doug Bradley says as Pinhead.
 * That sort of shriek that happens in Highlander...and the occasional bits of vocalisation from Freddie Mercury in the background. I can't really write them down, but they really add to the atmosphere.
 * The gun sounds in Blade Runner: The Final Cut are just amazing.
 * While THE SOUND can never really be matched, the more complex transformation sounds in the Transformers movies are a wonderful symphony of mechanisms, with special mention being given to the "whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRR" of Optimus Prime's wheels spinning into place in robot mode.
 * However, why do the transformers have to vocalize things like excertion, getting hit or falling down? It sounds like the sounds a boy makes when he plays with transformer toys. This troper does not approve.
 * One has to remember that they are living machines with something resembling biological processes, and as such what we would vocalize for, such as the above, are the things they'll vocalize for as well. Just because they're stronger than us and can take bigger hits doesn't mean they aren't feeling it.
 * Arrival to Earth.
 * THIS! IS! SPARTA!!
 * *HWOMPHF*
 * GWAAAAH!
 * The lightcycles from Tron
 * This troper is quite fond of the Recognizer warble (featured at the end of the same sequence).
 * In Tron: Legacy, the first thirty seconds of Rinzler. Those drumbeats signify something badass is about to go down.
 * Most of the soundtrack qualifies.
 * The sound at 0:24 in this clip.
 * The title character in Black Dynamite is accompanied by a funky musical sting whenever he appears or does something cool: "DY-NO-MITE! DY-NO-MITE!" was practically made to become a ringtone.
 * This Troper loves the sound of the Alien Mothership starting up towards the end of District 9.
 * The dude with glasses getting hit with the hammer on the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
 * DAH-DAH! DAAAAAHHHH! DAH-DAH! DAAAAAHHHH! DAH-DAH DA DAH DAH!!
 * The roar of the tripods from War of the Worlds. It's somehow both the scariest and most exciting sound this troper has ever heard in a movie.
 * That wonderful swishing whoosh noise that accompanies each rush of the credits toward you at the beginning of Superman.
 * Its not even done being shown in theaters, but the BWONG! sound from Inception is already becoming both a Most Wonderful Sound and an Ear Worm for audience members, if the Youtube comments are anything to go by.
 * Oo-ee-oo-ee-oo!
 * Dew, dew, DEWW.
 * In the first Tomb Raider movie, the first time Lara lights a flare, it makes the EXACT noise it makes in the game, and this troper just went crazy with squee.
 * **WHIRR** **CHUNK** **WHIRR** **CHUNK** **WHIRR** **CHUNK**....Get away from her, you BITCH!
 * The Morse code beeping during the RKO logo.
 * The War of the Worlds (1953). The sounds made by the Martian war machines' weapons: the Skeleton Beam's firing and the Heat Ray's warm-up sequence and firing.
 * The little machine that goes "BING!" in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
 * AAAAA-AOA-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OAO-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 * The sound The Iron Giant makes when he's rebuilding himself, especially after the ending.
 * *silence* . . . . . scrrrreeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEE - "NIGHT FURY!" "GET DOWN!" - EEEEEEEEE fhwoooaph BOOM!
 * Lily's One-Woman Wail from Harry Potter. Luna Avril could listen to it all day.
 * BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
 * The 20th Century Fox fanfare. Need I say more?
 * The Click/Blip sound of the motion tracker in Aliens is both this and the scariest thing imaginable.
 * And the sound of the common pulse rifle the marines use.
 * Predator chirring.
 * Every time a pump-action shotgun is cocked in a movie.
 * Hell, every time any weapon is cocked in a movie. And when a minigun is spinning up.
 * In the new Red Tails movie, the roar of the Rolls-Royce and Allison engines used by the American fighters, or the Daimler-Benz engines used in the German Me-109s.
