What's up! I'm Willie Okendo, and I'm here to help out on this site since I know the more recognizable sounds I've heard in the entertainment industry. I mainly know what uses cartoon sounds and some general realistic sounds. And I'm also the watcher of this wiki, making sure users follow the rules. And if you break the rules, you will be blocked for a month or more. I'm watching you!
Note: For anyone who wants to add pages themselves (most notably MurphyWiki), I want to give you a warning that I'm on my laptop almost all day and always check, edit, and add anything on this site. So please don't trip on me about that since I hate when people complain to me that they wanted to do it first and not me, you should tell me first before I start doing it OK.

My Opinion on Stock SFX
I have been collecting sound effects libraries since I've first gotten the first Cartoon Trax Sound Effects Library. Since then, I've bought more sound effects libraries after. The reason for that is because I want to make my own sound effects library containing my favorite sound effects, and creating my own new sounds. Since I'm getting tired of hearing the same Hollywood Edge (mainly The Premiere Edition Vol. 1, The Edge Edition Vol. 1, and Animal Trax) and Hanna-Barbera sound effects in today's entertainment industry, I want to give the other sound effects libraries a chance by using those more often than the ones we hear today.
You can see the list of SFX libraries I will be using for my own SFX library.
For anyone who hasn't seen one of my blogs I did back then which is my list of Top Ten Annoying H-B and General SFX, there are several cartoon and general SFX I hate hearing now a days. I will only show the ones that irritate me the most now a days.
Cartoon Sounds I Hate
- Sound Ideas, WHINE, CARTOON - SHELL SCREAMING WHINE DOWN: My arch nemesis I hate hearing in cartoons and animated films now a days. It really irritates me everytime anything or anyone falls! How I wish the 1955 MGM cartoon "Good Will To Men" was never made, or that Hanna and Barbera (who were once the directors and producers of MGM until 1957) wouldn't of used it as their trademark. But the reason for this is because they wanted to copy and be like WB at that time Which I think is not a good idea since they need to be their own thing on cartoon sounds instead of imitating others.
- Sound Ideas, ZIP, CARTOON - BIG WHISTLE ZING OUT: Way too overused and can get annoying.
- Sound Ideas, TAKE, CARTOON - WHISTLE TAKE
- Sound Ideas, PLINK, CARTOON - SOUR PLINK
- Sound Ideas, PLUCK, CARTOON - VAROOP: I'm not OK with this in anime, thinkin it's an anime sound, but is not.
- Sound Ideas, BITE, CARTOON - BIG CHOMP
- Sound Ideas, BITE, CARTOON - BONE BITE
- Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 03: I prefer the 5th ricco over this.
- Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - THIN RICCO 03/RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 13: I prefer the 6th ricco over this.
- Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 07: I prefer the rare 8th ricco sound over this one.
- RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 14: This one is at least rare, and is only used in stuff made prior to the 1980s and 90's before it faded into obscurity. I don't like it as much as the rare 9th ricco.
- SKYWALKER, WHISTLE - SHORT, DESCENDING WHISTLE
I Prefer
- Sound Ideas, CARTOON, WHISTLE - FALL WHISTLE, LONG
- Sound Ideas, CARTOON, WHISTLE - FALL WHISTLE, MEDIUM 01
- Sound Ideas, CARTOON, WHISTLE - SIREN WHISTLE
- All the whistle sliding sounds from Series 1000.
- Many zip whistles from Cartoon Trax Volume 1, Series 4000, and the Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library.
- Some plink sounds from the Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library.
- Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 05
- Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 06
- RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 08
- RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 09
- SKYWALKER, WHISTLE - LONG, DESCENDING WHISTLE
Note: One I didn't list is the Looney Tunes Cartoon Fall Sound since I will list all 14 of the whistles I like or hate in bullet list:
- 1st - OK With
- 2nd - Hate
- 3rd - Prefer
- 4th - OK With
- 5th - Hate
- 6th - Prefer
- 7th - Hate
- 8th - Prefer
- 9th - Hate
- 10th - Prefer
- 11th - Hate
- 12th - Prefer
- 13th - Hate
- 14th - Prefer
Another that has its hit or miss for me is the Tom Scream, like the Looney Tunes fall sound, there are some I like and some I don't like.
General Sounds I Hate
- Hollywoodedge, Cats Two Angry YowlsD PE022601: I agree that this SFX is SO ANNOYING everytime companies use it for when someone or something crashes off screen. Since I'm already getting tired of hearing this so much, that now it's considered my arch nemesis of general animal sounds. And the reason for this is because Disney decided to use this in their show DuckTales in 1987 (5 years after its first use in Vincent). 3 years later, The Hollywood Edge made the first volume of the Premiere Edition SFX Library which included this notorious SFX, which led to Fox getting the SFX library and using it for The Simpsons since season 2. That's why we hear it so much now a days. However, Japan rarely uses it and it doesn't show up too much in anime thankfully.
- Hollywoodedge, Bird Rooster 2 Crow PE021501/Hollywoodedge, Rooster Crow Typical AT086301, Sound Ideas, BIRD, ROOSTER - ROOSTER: TWO CALLS, ANIMAL, and Sound Ideas, BIRD, ROOSTER - MORNING CALL, ANIMAL 01: I always hated rooster crow sounds since I was a kid, and these two really bug me the most.

- Sound Ideas, HUMAN, SCREAM - SCREAM: FEMALE, HORROR 03, Hollywoodedge, Screams 1 Woman Singl PE133501, and Hollywoodedge, Screams 7 Woman Three PE134101: I agree these 3 screaming sounds are annoying and need to stop being used.

- Sound Ideas, SCREAM - FEMALE, SHORT, HUMAN, HORROR 01
