I was playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I felt like I recognised the inventory full sound from somewhere. It turns out I was remembering it from the 2006 anime Ergo Proxy. This is the sound I am talking about.

A lot of these sound effects come from sound libraries and end up being used across different media. hbomberguy created a video on the origins of the Roblox’s “OOF” sound effect and decino has a video covering the origin of DOOM’s sound effects and how DOOM and Age of Empires 2 share some sound effects for example. I’d recommend checking them out if you are interested in this kind of thing.

If you have done this, what sound effect did you end up tracking down?
