The Wilhelm Scream
I've been reading up on the Wilhelm Scream after seeing this article on Aint It Cool. It's a stock sound effect from the 1950's that was revived by Star Wars sound maestro Ben Burtt for Episode IV in the late 70's. It's commonly used by the boffins at Skywalker Sound, but check out the video clips below and I think you'll recognise it...
