Ok, so watching Rick and Morty I heard the… idk windows run! Sound; like the error one. And in Alamo Ga Kill, I heard the same laser blasts used well… at least in empire strikes back. Like… are there new sounds? Poor foleys

    There are huge sound effects libraries that have been continuously built up and added to since sound in movies became a thing. Foley artists dip into them constantly. If you watch enough old movies you can pick out some almost 100-year-old foley effects that still get used in modern tv and movies. A lot of the time foley artists will toss them in as a joke or reference that mostly only other foley artists are going to catch.

    But yeah there are a lot of foley effects that get used a ton. I hear the exact door opening/closing sound from the old AOL instant messenger used in a movie or tv show at least a couple times a year. There’s also a specific cat noise that gets used constantly which people who played Postal 2 back in the day will recognize instantly.

        There’s this cops radio chatter I heard in hyper studio as a kid that’s in every police scene. Can’t make out what it says but it has the number 1 28 9 in it

          “Plain and sudway 1 28” at least that’s what it sounds like to me. I recognise it from SimCity and movies and TV.

            You’re right it was sim city! Every time you built a police station! That’s why it burned into my memory!
