This sound effect can be found on The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas.

Basic Info

  • First recorded: 1991
  • Creator: Brian Nimens
  • Owner: Sound Ideas (1992-present)
  • Origin: United States and Canada
  • Year debut: January 6, 1993
  • First heard: Blinky and the Red Car (an episode from The Adventures of Blinky Bill)
  • Area used: Worldwide (especially in the United States and Canada)

This sound effect was first recorded by Brian Nimens in 1991 because The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library was in the making at that time. It was voiced by either a baby or an older child.

So far, first debuting in the episode "Blinky and the Red Car" from the 1993 Australian TV show "The Adventures of Blinky Bill" on January 6, 1993, it's typically referred to as the "Baby Kate Cry", due to it frequently being used for, and commonly associated with, the character Baby Kate Read on Arthur.

The Series 6000 version of this crybaby sound is more popular than the Dimension and The International versions, so it has been used in more than a thousand pieces of media, especially Arthur. There is almost a 99.9% chances that you've been heard this cry-baby sound effect before.

TV Shows

NOTE: Don't expect this sound effect in every TV show - even if it contains a baby or a child. Remember, not all Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, or any other TV network stations use this demonic cry-baby sound effect. For example, Cartoon Network uses the Baby Kate Cry sound effect. Like I TMD the Hedgehog said, some popular Cartoon Network shows like The Amazing World of Gumball, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Teen Titans Go!, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Johnny Test, We Bare Bears, Victor and Valentino, and other Cartoon Network shows uses the 2nd half sound.
