* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', whenever the Doctor's TimeMachine, known as the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), appears or disappears, it makes a grinding noise. Behind the scenes this is done by scraping a key along piano strings. One episode reveals that the only reason it's happening is because the Doctor has, essentially, left the parking brake on.

She's stunned again in chapter 14 when she sees Twilight can do it, and learns that Celestia, Luna and Starlight can also do so. [[spoiler: By the end of the story, Spliced herself has also learned it.]]

* ''Literature/Magic20'': Zigzagged. While the very basic teleportation is instantaneous and has no visual or auditory cues, most wizards prefer to add sound or visual effects. For example, Phillip at one point uses the transporter effect from the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', also keeping himself and Martin immobile until the glow dissipates. In book 2, Martin copies [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Nightcrawler]]'s teleportation visuals and sound and uses the word "bamf" to trigger it.

*** Played straight with the ''Discovery''[='s=] own spore drive effect, which works similar to teleporation. Blue lightning bolts appear all around the ship, then the ship rapidly spins on its long axis and whooshes away up or down.

It's most prominent in a scene which involves a TeleportSpam against a Klingon flagship.
