Have you heard Doom/Quake sound FX in other media?
As the title implies, what sounds from Doom/Quake did you hear in other media?
I heard the explosion in Quake 2 (as a background noise) and Quake's chainsaw rev in Doom.
Fun fact: I heard Quake 2's enemy rocket sound in Worms 2/Armageddon.

I hear the Boss-brain cube-launching sound all the freaking time as a "whooshing fire" sound effect in dozens of movies and TV shows. Really kills the immersion for me, unfortunately.

Well said. I'm off for another person who knows this.

The first game that I actually heard Quake's blam from the shotgun was Rise of the Triad, mixed with swoooshing noise.
Oh, I'm now having another fact: What sound effects from other (non-Doom) games did you hear?
In the second Shock Troopers game, you can hear the same "large vehicle explosion" sound effect from Hardline. It occurs in the train level.

I've heard the imp death sounds used in various films. It's the sound of a camel or something.

Futurama uses the start of the BFG firing sound when projecting some kind of holographic map. twice, even. i think it's in the last season.

Black Mesa used the Doom door sounds for the Tau Cannon. At 1:50.
