There's a few from Doom that get used. There's a door opening sound that I'm sure is from Doom.

I hear the doom door fx all the time, it's so distinctive.

There's a scream from timesplitters (Not sure if that's where it's original from) that's used in loads of stuff too.

In all honesty, I really don't watch many movies at all, certainly not compared to many people. I haven't even seen dark knight rises yet or Ironman 2, to name only two blockbusters on my to see list. And yes, I think it's an awesome sound, but still overused. I cant imagine another sound in it's place though that would be as good.

Cool.

Maybe a bass rise instead of a bass drop. Or an all round bass sweep. It's going to be a tough one to replace.

The DooM Zombieman death sound is in David Cronenberg's NAKED LUNCH, the scene is at the cafe where Bill Lee meets Mr & Mrs Frost, the camera is panning right to left and out of nowhere comes the "Eeuurr" sound, I think they were intending it to sound like a camel, it didn't fool me.

Another overused droning sound, over the text at the beginning and end of this trailer.

Is this the one because i know i've heard it in a bunch of stuff?

Im pretty sure the old red alert tesla coil sound has been used everywhere.

Others i often notice are, wilhelm, melon squish, kids laugh, door creek, car skid, there's probably a few others as well.

the raptor and t rex noises from jurassic park get used in some substandard horro films.

e.g. raptor noise in King Cobra.

The one I always here is the computer sound from Deus Ex (I'm sure it's been used elsewhere but that's where I remember it)

Most overused sounds have gotta be the computer that beeps with every command and even beeps whilst the graphics on the screen are changing, such as zooming into a map from satelite The other overused sound effect is rows of factory lights that make a firm thud when switched on.

YES

That is definitely in timesplitters

Haven't read the whole thread, but screeching tyres on a dirt track seems to pop up often.

Just watching Agents of Shield. Someone snatched a double barreled shotgun from someone and turned it on them, complete with the sound of a pump action shotgun being cocked.
