Hey all,

I was recently going through the 1995 game Descent, when I heard the classic escape alarm:



Wait, a minute... where have I heard that before?? Oh, right. On my iphone.



I started researching this further and found that this sound effect was actually used in a lot of things.

Nickelodeon:


Project IGI, Power Rangers, Banjo Tooie...



Anyway, I'd really like to use this SFX in a commercial release and I'm wondering where I might find the license to this sound. Anyone familiar with where it comes from? I figured that if it was this common, it had to be in Sound Ideas 6000, but no avail.

It was in the classic game Goldeneye on the N64 as well IIRC - dont know if that might help you track it down.

Nah, sorry bud. I read that a couple times, but the Goldeneye sound effect was this guy right here:

Necrobump... this is THE sound of the nineties. It was used on commercials all the time. I think part of Toonami and the Disaster Area's bumpers, too. A later sound less famous but just as ingrained in me is this shotgun/pitched taiko hit.
