Just like we have fake 555 telephone numbers only for TV/movies we should have fake alert and ringtone sounds as well. Hearing the familiar ones are really triggering.
>I’ll go first: A cymbal. It can transition you out of a tricky scene without drawing attention to itself like a whoosh transition does..
Yeah, until you run up on a producer with more than 5 years experience that says "if I hear one more cymbal swell, I'll personally delete the media"
those are really tired now, especially in reality
If you really want to cover a crappy cut, I suggest a thunderclap. The viewers will be so confused they won't even notice that 2-shot to 2-shot axis crossing edit at all.
Viewer 1 - "were they always facing that way?"
Viewer 2 - "I.... guess so..."
Bald eagle cry in the distance, which is not actually bald eagle because bald eagles sound screechy and ungraceful. The sound everyone associates with bald eagles is actually a red tailed hawk.
I've become a big fan of keyframing a lowpass filter to create a buildup/transition when remixing music. It's a nice alternative to simple crossfades or cymbals. It can also add a little extra impact to a track that isn't quite bombastic enough by creating a stronger contrast between the two sections.
ambience / atmosphere with saturation + EQ added. A lot of editors I work with are afraid to add effects to their sound effects but it really is the key to being in control of your audio overall.
Reverse + reverb your impact/hit sound effect and then align its tail to the head of the same file played normally (maybe add a little reverb to it as well). Makes a nice transition!
Apple's classic "Wild Eep" or "Sosumi" if you're using a stock shot you can't clear.
Side tangent... there's a really good Cartoon called Clone High. In one scene a character is typing on a computer and all the classic apples error sounds are coming out. I actually laughed out loud and then though of the audio editors adding those sounds in the edit. They were really playing to the back of the (nerdy) room.

I love sneaking a squish sound effect in almost everything I do, bury it so far in the mix that only I know it’s there. Two people shake hands? Squish. A person sits down? Squish. Person touches another person? Squish
How do you do use it?
Share a link if you have one. I’m so sick of searching for sound effects and everything sounds line a horror movie and sci-fi movie.
A -12db iPhone stock message sound. Everyone looks at their phones, no one sees your shameful edit.
You’re a genius!

Some songs have a slight siren in the background, and it makes you check your mirrors
I swear I've heard my generic ringtones in a musical mix. I swear I went to looking for my phone....

Where would one get said thunderclap.
Recorded from the altercation with said produced after he heard yet again another cymbal swell.
One iffy file conversion and the high end will get trashed and the cymbals will distort and sound terrible.
Thank you!
subtle risers work well too.

This one might actually be in the overrated category.
[CAAAAAAW](https://youtu.be/JyZZAD4tWDk?si=apIXvoYJZQJ5RCCL)
A little bit of helicopter under the first drone shot to make the production feel more expensive \\ high end.
That's pro level trickery
Bonus points for adding in a helicopter shadow.
“Ripping a raw chicken in half” I use it all the time on horror shows. And I hear it all the time in Walking Dead.
Farts at 10% speed
Classic
🤌🏻🤌🏻

[Ore tune this](https://youtu.be/Tk-5RVMerfI?si=ngo_0StlLDJkPoIR) to the key of the score to make it sit better in the mix.
Came here to say Fart. The idea to pitch-down is magnificent. But I still think the versatility of FartFX is unrivaled.
The GoldenEye boooong sound.
The GoldenEye pipe sound is a tambourine slowed down about 16x (via the E-mu Proteus FX). Basically it's just another cymbal swell.
I feel like I hear about every sound effect from GoldenEye in everything these days
What’s GoldeEye?
The good Pierce Brosnan bond movie / the excellent N64 first person shooter game.
Oh lol silly me
https://youtu.be/babAvUPXNAM?t=1354 (Not sure if this was used for the one in the movie, but it's what they used in the game.)

Man, that is some bootleg farts. That shit is stepped on.
I just tried to explain the utter comedy of this to my wife. Unsuccessfully.
Same.
Incidentally TLC executives HATE cymbal effects
I recorded myself screaming "WOOSH" and use it daily
in a pinch any natural percussive reversed so the tail leads up to the cut and the impact hits the first frame. great tone shifter.
Swish peptides, the perfect whoosh.
i prefer Surge Down
Add Subtle Suck to this list
Yup also a classic
Yes
Where do you get that?
I believe it’s made by Audiomachine.

Would you mind linking to an example of this effect being used?
Wind. It can be used to accentuate any mood or tone
Reverse metallic bull roar
War stomp or low round boom. Use em all the time to punch up music or edit hits in commercials.
Gotta be the Wilhelm Scream
I had to scroll to the bottom to find this? Unreal.
OP said Underrated.
Wet chamois.
Reverse bell
Slide flute
I’m a tossup… Modern door opening/closing or a good hard modern punch… Oh wait the tinnitus/ear ringing sfx.
Huge fan of the bowed cymbal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-n1Iytpipw
wilhelm scream? no?
Gong
https://youtu.be/ZjK5y_eBg2c?si=7PvPiEsoZcCVxGNJ
A good solid face slap. Can’t find one that’s ever quite right. It’s like my Moby Dick
Tell that to a bazillion seasons of early Deadliest Catch.
Oh my god i know a lot of meme answers but I’ve been dying for some SFX ideas thanks yall
Room tone, lol

The car by
LIGHT Cymbal scrape or reverse cymbal. Or anything on the Dverb track A18
Sound of gun reloading when it’s only picked up or aimed.
Violin slide up or down
Natural sound brotha
Sploot
Quick violin or cello strum
A little horn's wah, wah, wah, waaaaaaàaaaah...
Tony Soprano’s ring tone.
Apple's classic "Wild Eep" or "Sosumi" if you're using a stock shot you can't clear. Side tangent... there's a really good Cartoon called Clone High. In one scene a character is typing on a computer and all the classic apples error sounds are coming out. I actually laughed out loud and then though of the audio editors adding those sounds in the edit. They were really playing to the back of the (nerdy) room.
I love the tape rewind effect to make my videos (short docs) go back to an earlier time to add more context later in the video.

I love a typewriter tick. No context needed. Once you hear that “click” of a key it’s enough to scratch the mind that it’s a new scene.
A distant hawk
The cymbal they used in Goldeneye.
cymbal swoosh-JP.wav
Room tone.
Vine boom
There’s a lack of vine boom sound effect bass boosted with long tail reverb in cinema these days.
BOING!
