loosebruce 10 Posted June 19, 2010 Hey all, Was watching this clip on Youpoop and realised it sounds the exact same as the TOW missile/Konkurs Sound Effect in ArmA 2. There is another video clip I listened to as well that has the Distinctive ArmA 2 Heavy (HE) explosion SFX. Listen for yourself around 0:33 ish <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn8M5SMg-4I&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn8M5SMg-4I&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> That is all XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs 2 Posted June 19, 2010 I've heard sounds used in OFP used in all sorts of series' since 2001. Something tells me that BIS doesn't necessarily record all their own sounds. Abs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dosenmais 10 Posted June 19, 2010 These Sounds are all off the can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h - 169 Posted June 19, 2010 Even the latest and greatest movies today use the same car crash sound that was used in OFP. Stock sounds from some SoundFX library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted June 19, 2010 Best thing is that ive heard the same sounds used for different purposes, like OFP reloading sounds used as movie 'switch weapon sounds'. Instinctively it confused the hell out of me. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
11aTony 0 Posted June 19, 2010 Or OFP explosion sound in nearly all cheap movies:). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattxr 9 Posted June 19, 2010 Its like this the scream sound is used in every film, the same sound in about 20 differnt films ^^ cdbYsoEasio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon C 0 Posted June 19, 2010 In tonight's Dr Who, one of the submarine-creaking sounds from Silent Hunter III was used. Everyone does it. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted June 19, 2010 Wow... The wilhelm scream gets really annoying when you listen to it that many times in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Charles 22 Posted June 19, 2010 Especially when they used it 3 times in that spider horror movie =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted June 19, 2010 I have this five second soundbyte of a man and a woman talking over a police radio that I keep hearing in the background of a lot of supposed crime scenes.(and in GTA 1 if you steal a cop car) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) I have this five second soundbyte of a man and a woman talking over a police radio that I keep hearing in the background of a lot of supposed crime scenes.(and in GTA 1 if you steal a cop car) There was a sound bite in Sim City that I hear in almost every damn crime scene on TV lol, might be the same one. EDIT: Apparently, a number of sound guys compete with each other to get a particuler DOG BARK sound bite into whatever film they are doing, whoever can get it as loud as possible without ruining the scene wins... dklA4-ACN4k Edited June 20, 2010 by STALKERGB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparks50 0 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Nah my sound is in this clip: (most noticeable from 0:24-0:30) I very much recognize yours too though. Edited June 21, 2010 by sparks50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bomber_c 0 Posted June 21, 2010 I recognised a few sounds from OFP in the Transformers movie, I tried to tell my friends but I was drunk at the time so they didn't take me serious :pet5: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted June 21, 2010 I love it when screams from Goldeneye appear on TV. 'Tis awesome. There's some massive audio library out there that EVERYONE samples these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katipo66 94 Posted June 21, 2010 Ahaha... now im gonna be listening out for that scream every time i watch a movie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Snafu- 77 Posted June 21, 2010 I've heard that Police radio sound from GTA in a lot of films and TV shows. Too many. In 28 Days Later you can hear the M16 sounds from OFP on the SA80 at the army checkpoint scene when the soldiers pop out of nowhere and kill a human turning into a zombie. I can't find that scene anywhere though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz_Fledderjohn 0 Posted June 21, 2010 There is one stock sound that I keep recognizing over and over again. It's the sound of young giggling children. It's often used for scenes that show children playing. I've recognized that sound since I was young, it's kinda creepy. :( Does anyone know which one I mean?

Big Dawg KS 6 Posted June 21, 2010 I've recognized that sound since I was young, it's kinda creepy. :( Yea, that is kinda creepy... :raisebrow: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted June 21, 2010 Every time, it seems, when my brother hears the explosion sound from OFP in another game, movie, TV series, etc. he turns to me and asks "Isn't that the explosion noise from Flashpoint?" :D I've heard many of the same sounds throughout the internet. In fact, my most recent one was watching a trailer for the game TimeShift, where one of the assault rifles has the same sound as the AK-74 in ArmA. mRsCjxout40 Listen closely at 0:29. That sound file is actually very popular, heard it in many other places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugz 10 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Wow, that timeshift trailer, I have never heard so many popular sound effects used. It makes media sound cheap when you know they have not used their own sounds in my opinion. In 28 Days later, the british Sa80's use the OFP M16 Sound effect (when they shoot the newly infected father of the young girl) Edited June 21, 2010 by Sugz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the one I'm thinking of, it's also in Sim City 3000 whenever you build a park or playground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
