That every TV show and movie seems to re-use the same sound effects. Always takes me out of the story when I hear the same crying baby or fake “car clunking and breaking down” noises for the 1000th time.

I was going to mention this. This squeaky metal door/gate noise is so overused in the XFiles that if I hear it in a movie today, I want to walk away. It's been 30 years! Get a new door sound.

Holy shit, I know exactly what sound you are talking about and it's more than just XFiles. I never really watched XFiles, and I know what noise you are talking about. this one! . I can't even find a name for it.

Okay so there is also a wilhelm scream of police radio chatter. Its a female voice that trails off. Its the sound that plays when you click on a police station in simcity 2000. Ive never been able to figure out what the voice says but its in so many tv shows and movies.

If anyone knows, please... help.

I was watching Generation Kill, absolutely immersed because it's amazing, then all of a sudden I'm hearing the baby cry from an interlude track on Ænima by Tool. I've listened to that album countless times so that was very very weird and distracting

I am more of a points at screen Leonardo Di Caprio from wolf of wallstreet kinda guy.

Hey! I know that sound!

There is a specific growling sound that I hear in movies sometimes that I'm sure I've heard in WoW and the original Doom.

Ooh gun shot sounds from 80 movies were a bang. Doesn't matter if Clint Eastwood is in far west or 80 LA, they are the same sounds.
