I have the Wilhelm Scream as my ringtone. You should see the looks when I get a call in public.

Used to have it as my e-mail alert, but got tired of explaining it.

Upvoted only because I hope it makes people HATE the damn thing as much as me.

I SO Hate hearing it in movies, and I notice it pretty much any time it happens.

It's almost as bad as, well, it's a hard one to explain, it's a kind of (kii woosh) eplosiony sound thing that seems to be used far, far too much. It's hard to explain, it's used as a backdraft sound sometimes, and just all round explosion thing. I'll try and find an example of it. (AHAH, I remembered it from the intro to Magic Carpet from 1994 of all places... it's here at 3:22 (skip forward to it, terrible intro) It gets used EVERYWHERE and I hate, hate, hate it

Damn lazy sound designers, damn them to hell

Ohhhh man spoco, Magic Carpet is FULL of sound effects that I've heard too often.

I am pretty sure that sound effect really originates from magic carpet (and was later sold into a effects library).
And its incredibly common. If you add games, even more so than the wilhelm scream.
Nearly every racing/space/ect game has it somewhere.

The scream from the film "Doctor strangelove, or how I learnt to stop worrying and love the bomb" is used quite alot.

I'm constantly hearing the doors from Doom 1 all over the place, especially in commercials. Keep expecting to hear the roars of Imps.

How can you not vote for the Titanic scene alone?

Find "300" and listen to that Persian FedEx guy...he screams like Howard Dean when he falls!
