{{Teleportation}} ''could'' be {{stealthy|Teleportation}}, not featuring vacuum booms from the TheAirNotThere or using InstantRunes. It could be just utterly undetectable, except for someone disappearing and re-apppearing somewhere else.
However, that looks boring. In addition, it would give a massive edge to teleporters and make them harder to fight against, as they could swiftly change their locations and ambush their targets with ease.
To improve aesthetics and narration, teleportation can be given audible or visual effects. They may happen upon activation of teleportation or upon arrival at the destination. Effects may include flashes of light, booms of vacuum, smoke screens, and similar phenomena.
It also gives the audience an audible or visual shorthand to show that teleportation indeed happened, making it clearer why the character moved from one place to another.

** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Downplayed with the {{Jerkass}} Q's teleportation, having a minimal "whoosh" effect:
*** Once, Q appeared on the bridge with a Mariachi band to celebrate getting his RealityWarper powers back; the band was noisy and showy, while Q retained his woosh.
*** At his least flashy, Q appeared in the Captain's ready room after a narrow crisis in Engineering:

---->[whoosh]
---->'''Q''': And why shouldn't they? They're so inconvenient.

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} and {{Invoked|Trope}}. ThinkingUpPortals usually doesn't give any warning at the destination point, which makes {{Portal Cut}}s a real hazard, so channelers work out a way to transmit a flash of light and a warning chime before the gateway opens.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' has several options:
** In the edition 3.5 supplement ''Complete Mage'', the Cloudy Conjuration feat lets you accompany your conjuration spells (a category that includes teleportation and SummonMagic) with a poof of noxious smoke, [[StatusAilment sickening nearby creatures]] for 1 round. [[ObviousRulesPatch Creatures summoned by the spell are unaffected]].
** The 5[[superscript:th]] edition ''Thunder Step'' spell, which allows WeaponizedTeleportation, unleashes a damaging GaleForceSound as the caster disappears.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': The spell ''ice crystal teleport'' (from ''Ultimate Magic'') causes a creature to [[HarmlessFreezing become encased in ice]] over the course of a few turns, then fade away as they're teleported to the caster's home. As a means of transport it's CoolButInefficient, since it's available later than the standard ''teleport'' spell and removes some of its options (like teleporting to less-familiar places or transporting multiple creatures at once). Unlike ''teleport'', however, it [[WeaponizedTeleportation can be used against unwilling targets]] and doesn't require the caster to make physical contact.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': Teleporting is said to produce a thunderclap on use due to the air rushing in to fill the empty space with some depictions also adding a blinding flash of light as well (although this varies on the writer and the faction teleporting, since they don't use the same technology).

[[folder:Video Games]]
* The ''VideoGame/BioShock'' series: How all teleportation that is seen, works, with puffs of smoke and flashes of light on appearing and disappearing:
** Houdini Splicers, who appear and disappear in puffs of smoke and flashes of light, Fiery red, or Icy blue, depending on their element.

* In the original ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', whenever a character or creature teleports, there is a burst of yellow/green energy at the origin and destination sites.
* ''VideoGame/FableI'': Teleportation is used to take the hero from his DoomedHometown, but its specific appearance depends on the version:

** In ''Anniversary'', is preceded by clouds of blue and white light.
* ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'': Komato Assassins appear and disappear by teleportation, in a starry-shaped flash of white light.
* ''VideoGame/LemmingsRevolution'', a 2001 ContinuityReboot, had vertical teleporters with a spiral design and blinding light that would transport them to the other side. Unlike ''VideoGame/Lemmings3D'', there was no limit on how many lemmings could enter. InUniverse, the Lemmings had no idea where the teleporters would take them, due to the teleporters making them BlindedByTheLight.
* ''VideoGame/{{Outcast}}'': Activating an F-Link (a short-range personal teleporter) is accompanied by a bright flash of light that alerts guards both near Cutter's staring location and near his destination.
* ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'': Teleportation effects from each school of magic and most magic items produce a distinct visual display as the PlayerCharacter disappears. For example:
** A basic teleport causes them to vanish into a PillarOfLight.

** The Dark Summoning spell creates a ritual circle around the targeted units before turning them into undulating lines of light that reform around the caster.
** The Warden's Blink spell creates a brief flash of light both at the caster's current location and her destination.
** Unit using a Way Gate have a bright white effect on them once they arrive at the other gate.
* ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'': In GameWithinAGame, ''Yanvania: Senpai of the Night'', Dracula-chan teleports in a manner where disappears by turning into a white glowing cylinder that raises into the air, and the reverse is how she reappears a few seconds later, possibly somewhere else, possibly in the same spot.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury'': Duck Dodgers needs to receive an assignment from Doctor I Q Hi on the 30,000th floor. Rather than take a slow elevator, Dodgers uses a lightbulb shaped teleporter that removes him from the docking bay with a flash and a bang, to another bulb teleporter on the correct floor that also does the flash-and-bang upon arrival.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', whenever someone teleports, there's a puff of coloured smoke with an UnsoundEffect word or phrase in it related to what's going on (e.g. in one episode, they teleport into a comic and there's a puff of smoke with the word "comic").
* ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'': Danger Duck has "quantum quacking," which is just teleporting with personal style. A double-ringed immaterial anomaly appears at the site Duck teleports from, and reappears as a kind of herald at Duck's reentry site. Both sites get a "shoop" sound as well.
* The Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse franchise has multiple teleporters that do it flashily:
** ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': Orko's teleportation as if he was being intentionally theatric, for example:
*** Left a location by pulling his body into his hat and then making the hat disappear, then reappearing by using a disembodied hand to appear and draw his signature "O" from his shirt before materializing.
*** He's disappeared by folding himself up like a card trick.
** ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'': Multiple characters teleport like this:
*** Princess Glimmer, who could pop around the battlefield in flashes of light, as befits her light-based powers.
*** Shadow Weaver had the option of either disappearing and reappearing in a ball of fire or a shadowy haze depending on her mood.
*** Madame Razz normally favored her companion Broom for transport but, as demonstrated in "Welcome Back Kowl", could appear with a shower of sparkles if she so chose.
*** The konseal Loo-Kee could also teleport by vanishing and reappearing in a small display of sparkles and a quietly tinkling bell. Given his ability was to remain undetected and no one else noticed the sparkles manifesting, its up for grabs whether this was done more for the audiences' collective benefit or not.
** ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002'': King Hsss used DestructiveTeleportation in a OneToMillionToOne manner, by separating into a bunch of green energy snakes that scattered along the ground in different directions, only to reconvene almost instantly at the desired target location with a very prominent hissing sound.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Teleportation spells have a flash at their destination point on arrival.

{{Teleportation}} ''could'' be {{stealthy|Teleportation}}, not featuring vacuum booms from the TheAirNotThere or using InstantRunes. It could be just utterly undetectable, except for someone disappearing and re-apppearing somewhere else.
However, that looks boring. In addition, it would give a massive edge to teleporters and make them harder to fight against, as they could swiftly change their locations and ambush their targets with ease.
To improve aesthetics and narration, teleportation can be given audible or visual effects. They may happen upon activation of teleportation or upon arrival at the destination. Effects may include flashes of light, booms of vacuum, smoke screens, and similar phenomena.
It also gives the audience an audible or visual shorthand to show that teleportation indeed happened, making it clearer why the character moved from one place to another.
The {{Opposite Trope|s}} to StealthyTeleportation, for when disappearance is the only sign of teleportation.
Sometimes occurs with WeaponizedTeleportation, if the effect is weaponizable.

** Rapid, long-distance: It involves an elaborate arm wave, with a flashbulb effect for her departure, and not much stealth at her destination.
* ''ComicBook/NewGods'': Boom Tubes. As implied by the name, a form of TubeTravel, made at will to transport things between anywhere in a matter of minutes.

---> Ami, reappeared on the hatchery grounds, fading into view with her visor already covering her eyes.
:: : '''Departure:''' as shown in [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/dungeon-keeper-ami-sailor-moon-dungeon-keeper-story-only-thread.30066/post-6355700 "Seizing Heart Number 3"]] has the sound of a [[TheAirNotThere vaccum]] being filled in at the departure point:
---> "This way," Ami gestured, pointing with a transparent hand over her shoulder. Ice made grinding noises with the movement, but the sound abruptly stopped when the water-filled simulacrum disappeared, leaving only a near-inaudible popping sound of inrushing air.
** Metallian Teleportation: As seen in [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/dungeon-keeper-ami-sailor-moon-dungeon-keeper-story-only-thread.30066/post-6355823 "Catastrophic Failure, Part 1"]], it reflects their ElementalPowers:
