Splicer's "Adolph Hitler voice in prog" thread was locked but it almost gave birth to an interesting topic for a discussion. Sampling dialogue/speeches/misc sfx in music has for a long time been super common and prog rock isn't an exception. :P And there are those sounds that every band ever has used at one point and we're kinda sick of them. xD My list:
- politicians' voices
- baby crying/laughing
- the sound of a huge door being slammed shut
- the sound of doors creaking
- rain/thunderstorm (come on, enough of this cliché!)
- gunshot (especially machine gun sfx)
- cash register
- radio tuning
- iMovie kids yelling "yaay!" (used not only on Darskapens Monotoni by Kaipa DC but also trillions of YT content creators)
On the other hand, there are of course immortal classic sound effects that evoke the opposite reactions:
- explosions
- sea/ocean (with seagulls or not)
- water bubbling
- evil laughter
- windchimes
- howling winds (or a noise oscillator with a sweeping filter)
Send in your examples. I'm all (progressive) ears.
