A foley is a sound effect recorded with a microphone, usually in a studio, and often involves using props to make sounds, hence the whooshes and cracks.
{{examples|Common examples of {{PAGENAME}} include:}}
* That slight swooshing sound when someone's eyes dart back and forth.▼
** And that little "plink plink" that denotes blinking. See [[Squeaky Eyes]].▼
* Anything that holds immense power will usually hum or ring. See [[Whining Light]].▼
* The "''sling!''" of sunlight glinting off a metallic surface (especially a sharp edge). See [[Audible Sharpness]].▼
** The metal-on-metal sound of a sword being unsheathed. [[Reality Is Unrealistic|Swords do not make that sound]]. If they do, you've got a horrible sheathe (they ''should'' have softer interiors specifically to prevent metal-on-metal). If you hear that metal-on-metal sound when you draw your sword, it's ''bad'' because it means you're ''dulling your sword''.▼
* A cracking bullwhip whenever a character snaps his/her head around or makes some other sudden jerky motion.▼
* The rolling bongos that go along with a [[Wheel-O-Feet]].▼
* The slide whistle, a universal indicator that something is falling (up or down).▼
** If it's something big, substitute the sound of a dive-bombing Stuka airplane.▼
* A cymbal crash or orchestra hit whenever someone gets struck hard with something.▼
** Particularly heavy hits may require a gong (see also [[The Hit Flash]]).▼
* Old people will creak and squeak with every movement, like an unoiled hinge or a loose floorboard.▼
* Lit fuses will always emit a menacing hissssssss.▼
* The inevitable 'ting!' sound of [[Audible Gleam|light glinting]] off the hero's (or cheesy villain's) gleaming, white teeth. This particular example is used with humorous intent in the occasional sugar-free gum or dental product commercial.▼
* The 'frooff' noise of an object passing by the camera.▼
* People being knocked over to the sound of bowling pins.▼
* Someone sneaking around will be accompanied by strings: pizzicato for tip-toeing, slides for strides (think ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' theme). See [[Mickey Mousing]].▼
* Anything with a ponderous pace (elephant, bear, fat dude) will be accompanied by Tuba.▼
* The little 'fwip' sound of a ninja or similar character jumping improbably high or simply vanishing without a trace.▼
* The high-pitched sound of a coiled spring ("boing-boing") whenever someone is jumping or an object is bouncing. If the person/object is large enough, substitute a kettle drum.▼

* Hong Kong kung fu movies were pretty notorious for this, especially in the early days.
