What is the most memorable sound effect in Doom?

Post by Oberron »

As the title says anyway, what is the most memorable sound you hear in Doom?
I might go with the Zombieman death sounds and the player pain sound.

the item and powerup pickup sounds are fairly distinct sounding, i'd say. but yes, the revenant alert is probably the one that pops up fairly often in my mind, too. it's fricking terrifying.

The door opening sound. I just heard it in The Force Awakens and it ruined the whole movie for me because I associate it with Doom.

Every sound, actually.. I can play Doom with the sound off and still 'hear' everything mentally.

The Pistol, Doors and Explosions respectively.

Most especially the explosion though. I've heard it in Smash Bros Melee once.

This... but if I had to choose only one, I'd go for the door opening sound.

Other very memorable ones include the pistol, zombie see/awake, and the Revenant see/awake.

I will never be able to unhear the call of the Revenant. :shock:

The Imp's hiss, the Cyberdemon's roar and stomping, the Archvile's alert sound, and the Icon of Sin/Romero head's backwards speech.
