* Security alarm sounds. The alarm sound in the Nintendo 64 adaptation of ''[[Golden Eye 1997 (Video Game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'' is also used for the gates in ''[[Gradius]] IV'''s High Speed Stage, and appears in the ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'' song "Dead End". Another stock alarm sound is used in both ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''(the game) and ''[[Perfect Dark]]''.
** The ''[[Descent]]'' [[Self
* The Bullhorn Klaxon.
** There's also the alarm when a submarine dives. A stock sound similar to this is used in ''[[Halo]] 3'' when a Scarab is damaged or exploding. This sound was also the boss warning klaxon in ''[[Ikaruga]]''.
Line 209:
* The bullhorn of failure (uuuuuuuh uaaaaah) in ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''.
* The "Yabbity Yabbity" sound originating in an early 1930's Looney Tunes short was used many times in later shorts and other cartoons throughout the years, the sound usually occurs after a characters hits his head and shakes it to regain consciousness or if a character is preparing to charge into something. The sound was made by blowing a certain tune on a trombone and speeding up the sound.
* The sound whenever a character in a [[Hanna

* There are several commonly used thunder sounds. It is also because of the difficulty to record a pure thunder sound without rain in the background. While thunder caused by a lightning strike can last up to and over 40 seconds in [[Real Life]], stock thunder sounds usually last only 1-5 seconds.
** Castle Thunder (as in Universal's Frankenstein) is the most well-known of them all. Used in many Disney movies made from the 1930s to the late-1980s and on many pre-1991 [[Hanna
** Generic Horror Thunder; that 'Tchik-ak-ak-ak-ak!' sound that the thunder and lightning always make in horror movies. Did you ''ever'' hear that sound in a real storm?
*** Those type of sounds occur when lightning strikes close to the viewer. It's not actually thunder, but the sound of the lightning arcing.
Line 385:
* ''[[Command and Conquer]]'': The Tesla Coil and Chronosphere sound in Red Alert.
* The many "Alien Electronics" stock sounds: The holo-switches in the ''[[Halo]]'' games and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx5hTiIYaAY Alien Corridors] music use such a sound.
* Stock [[Arcade Sounds]] usually based on [[Pac
** And sometimes Atari 2600 ''[[Donkey Kong]]''.
** The song "Movement in Still Life" by BT uses sound effects from ''[[Defender]]'', ''[[Pacman|Ms. Pac Man]]'', ''Galaga'', and other 80s arcade games during its "break" section .
Line 471:
* [[Bomb Whistle|The sound people and objects make when falling from somewhere really high up.]] ''Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!''
* It's hard to describe, being so short and easy-to-miss, but there's a very peculiar sound of a man grunting, "UH!" that's been used numerous times. [[Mad]] uses it a lot, especially in their parody of [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]
* In general, [[Hanna
*** The sound of somebody throwing something (usually Fred Flintstone bowling) goes back to 1958 and is one of the H-B studio's most prolific sound effects.
** To elaborate on their popularity, these sounds were ''incredibly common'' during [[The Eighties]] and [[The Nineties|Nineties]]. Nearly every show from those two decades made at least minor use of them. (ironically, Hanna-Barbera themselves began to stop using them during the nineties, such as in ''[[Fish Police (Animation)|Fish Police]]'', ''[[SWAT Kats]]'' and ''[[The Halloween Tree]]''.) In fact, some show continue to use them today. They've even been used several times in [[Anime]]. No surprise, really, given that [[Wacky Races]] was a huge hit in Japan.
