I meant this sound from this Youtube short clip from Chewkz . I am not going to rewatch the whole LOTR and cut the clip and post it here…
I also dont know what the actual sound is called. Luckily this short shows that sound. There are many other videos but i just dont remember which.

Anyway, you can hear right at the end where the guy screams because he doesnt know how to take his Tesla down.
In LOTR movies, you hear this sound A LOT. Especially in big battle, a random Orc gets killed and screams like this. It happens in all 3 movies lol, so I wonder if this is a Peter Jackson thing …
First seen in lotr movies omegalol
Wilhelm Scream is what you’re thinking of.
But you ONLY GET ONE per movie. It’s in the UN charter or something.
thanks
Then it was most certainly not first seen in LOTR, that shit is ancient.
First recorded in 1951 for the film Distant Drums.
It’s a little joke among filmmakers and sound guys, and frankly, I think it needs to stop. It’s a huge illusion break for an audience that’s figured it out.
Yeah it’s maddening, once you know it you hear it E V E R Y W H E R E q_q
Honestly don’t think I’ve spotted the wilhelm scream in new media for a while, it was fun for a bit but maybe we’re finally free.
They do a better job of making it fit into the sound design nowadays instead of sticking out like a sore thumb like it did in older movies. Harder to catch.
Last thing I saw it in was the Baldur’s Gate 3 intro.
Was it? I’ve seen it a dozen times or so but didn’t notice
Yeah, when a bunch of tower debris fall on fleeing people.
I’m not watching a short, but it sounds like you’re talking about the Wilhelm scream. It comes from an older movie.
The older movie it comes from is actually Star Wars. /joke
thanks anyway
Even the Steam Controller has an easter egg where it plays the Wilhelm scream randomly if you drop it.
