That drat kids giggling one always drives me nuts, it's so loving distinct and obvious, and it seems like there's some sort of law that if a child is on screen for more than a second they have to play that sound effect.

Wilhelm scream is pretty cool and fun, but I've always really enjoyed the "Howie Scream" more, it's so over the top and sounds like they chucked someone into a furnace or something

Nothing ruins a movie for me faster than the Wilhelm scream.

The Howie scream just makes me think of Starcraft.

The worst part about the Wilhelm is it's so overused that if you hear it in a modern movie it's only there to be clever or so the movie can be included in a YouTube montage of movies that use it.

I think when you grew up gaming in the 90's you inadvertently created a specialty compartilized part of your brain dedicated to cataloguing and recognizing stock sound effects.
Having dedicated sound designers back then was rare and unless you were huge budget developers like Westwood who could Foley loving flamethrowers and cars exploding you either created compressed digital effects, crap you smashed together with bad mics with your small staff, or mined stock sound effect libraries.

So the sound of kids laughing in Baldur's Gate, doors opening in Doom, doors creaking in Daggerfall, guns shooting in Wolf 3D, dragons roaring in Might & Magic 6, you would hear that poo poo FIVE TRILLION GOSH DARNED times through the course of the game with no variation, so they would be burned into the sound center of your brain for all eternity.

Almost every movie I watch has me recognizing stock sound effects. A lot of the libraries are straight up ancient, and harried sound techs who have a deadline will just squeeze volume reduced versions of these effects into scenes to fill them out when they can't be bothered to create unique samples.

I have to say that this poo poo has outright ruined scenes for me. I'm probably anal retentive of poo poo but few things smash the delicate illusion of film more than canned bullshit because it just immediately allows you to see the seams.

Anyway that's why the sound of Javert crunching when he kills himself in the newer Les Mis is one of the worst movies scenes of all times thank you for listening I drank too much coffee today.

I think half of the problem is sound designers, deep in their little cave booths, putting generic rear end sounds in things as an overused inside joke. Is the Wilhelm scream an inside joke if literally everyone knows about it?

The other half is that producers and studio reps often aren't very creative and demand audio cues that are instantly recognizable, even if they're a poor fit creatively

I imagine it's more like sound designers and editors are overworked and underfunded on an unreasonable deadline so they just have to get it done.

I’ve always hated those digital insect chirpy sounds whenever tech people are enhancing photos or hacking into the mainframe or whatever. At no point in the history of computers did anyone tolerate sounds like that while they’re working.

Cheering noise with a distinct voice screaming over the others, so it's real obvious.

Edit:

This scream never fails to crack me up, though.
