I remember the Nightclub music from Timesplitters 2 being used for a floor gymnastics routine in the Olympics in, it must‘ve been 2004. My buddy and I were watching and both looked at each other thinking "that’s Timesplitters music!".
Sadly I can't find the clip in question but here's the music.
the menu cursor movement and select sounds in SMTV were deeply familiar to me, but it took a few days for me to realise why. they're the same as need for speed underground 2, a game chock full of menus for every option on every inch of every car.
Syzygy - You’d be surprised how often major international multimedia companies just use free sound banks.
During FFVII's Rocket Town arc, you see in a cutscene why the rocket is leaning the way it is, and for a very brief moment some [jungle-ish ambient noise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WahKCdcojo&t=10m06s) plays (suggesting that the industrial site has been overtaken by nature?). I've definitely heard at least some of those sounds in [MGS3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE0mIJmGlCE&t=25s), though it seems they might have mixed a few of these sound library tracks together for FFVII (which the sounds may have been recorded specifically _for_ FFVII, I have no idea).
Anyone know what that animal is whose call sounds like it jumps between two different pitches? ~low^high~low^high~low^high~low^high~low^high~low^high~low^high~low^high ?
having recently gone through a phase of being unable to stop humming the Daytona USA music (as i‘m sure many have), i tried to excise it from my brain by playing along to it on guitar (this has worked in the past).
it struck me how similar in feel ’Let‘s Go Away’ is to the allman brothers ‘Jessica’, famously the title theme to british car magazine show and right-wing indoctrinator Top Gear .
I hear the generic animal barks from Warcraft III all the time. I‘m convinced there’s a single recording of a wild boar and no one's bothered to make more.
I'm sure this track from Power Dolls 3 has some of the same rap samples as the Persona soundtracks. I think. They might not be the exact same ones but definitely from the same pack.
DOOM was one of the first games where I started picking up on this and with good cause since it used a pretty standard sound library. This dude found them all.
@“Chopemon”#p85424 uses the same “viva la revolucion”
Much more tastefully! (/only once!)
@"copySave"#p85429 That Sound Ideas library really got around... just the imp roars alone I can recall hearing in a billion things. Off the top of my head it's used for Sylux in [Metroid Prime Hunters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y-pFKOf4kw&t=37s) and the snake in the PC version of [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgHcaIwpppU&t=8m40s) (_not_ the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox version, scholars take note)
that i'm pretty sure also appears in the "diaper time" bit in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia [linked but not embedded for possible NSFW] `https://youtu.be/4kI4l_RUTv0`
@“captain”#p35088 there‘s one of some sort of animal howl that I’ve heard elsewhere used for all sorts of things, no idea what it is or supposed to be.
