Sound editor poll: what are some sounds in movies/TV that are distinctly and instantly recognizable -- (edited)

Posted by prayformojo 🐵 (aka mayhem) Sep 22 '23, 10:20

Doesn't need to be a single sound, but I'm looking for things other than songs/tunes/jingles (e.g. Final Jeopardy music doesn't count)

examples:
lightsaber sound(s)
Pac Man game over
Wilhelm scream
