13	->''"We then exit the temple, and I swear the Egyptians used the same sound effect for their doors as ''Doom'' does."''
14	-->-- ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'', reviewing ''Maabus''
15
16	The sound effect used for doors opening and closing in the game ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' has rapidly become one of the StockSoundEffects and is one of the few sound effects that non-movie fans will be able to identify right off. The reason for this is quite simple: The sample comes from a sound archive developed by the Canadian-based Sound Ideas, which is a series of stock sounds -- explosions, screams and so on -- that can be licensed out to filmmakers. Thus, the makers are not ripping off ''Doom''; they just happen to have used the same sound files that were used in that game.
17
18	Many films use the same sound effect libraries; the only reason this one is obvious is that gamers of a certain age have heard it thousands of times over...
19
20	Mac users of the correct age might likewise recognize ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' elevators in a lot of media.

22	Can be listened to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BVygrVoxC8 right here]].

24	See also: StockScream. Do not confuse with DoorOfDoom.

43	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
44	* Used in ''Film/{{Blankman}}'', ''not'' for a door, but for the Blankmobile when he powers it down so he can hear Kimberly.
45	* Doors in the film version of ''Film/{{Doom}}'' open with a non-doom doors futuristic style sound... until the film shifts to a First-Person style and becomes much more similar to the game, complete with doors now inexplicably opening with the characteristic noise.
46	* Several of the doors on the titular ''Film/EventHorizon'' make this noise, possibly referencing the fact that the ship's drive opens a gateway to Hell.

65	* Used, of course, by the ''Series/MythBusters'' in their video games episode, where one of the myths was testing HyperspaceArsenal as used in first-person shooters like ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''.
