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.

* ''VideoGame/SplinterCellPandoraTomorrow'' uses the "thunk" lift stopping sound for the automated gun turrets.

* Used in the second half of Season three of ''Series/TwentyFour''.

* The doors in the ''Series/StargateSG1'' SGC sometimes make this noise.
* During the opening sequence, and commercial interstitials, for ''Modern Marvels'', the sound of the doors opening and closing can be heard while the show's logo is being constructed.
* In the short lived CW show ''Series/BirdsOfPrey,'' the entrance to Oracle's secret hideout uses this sound.
* 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}}''.
* Weirdly enough, a non-door example was used in Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer in "The Harvest". When Luke is staked by Buffy, the sound effect plays as he disintegrates.

* 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.
