Half life 2 Radio/ t.v sound used in different games and movies? - General

Here is one that I found from 28 days later, I know they aren't the same, but they are pretty damn close. [video=youtube;AdO5Z4ZeX6E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdO5Z4ZeX6E&feature=g-vrec[/video] Someone also said it can be found in Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Can someone confirm that it's also used anywhere else?

They are stock sounds that you buy. or get licensed to use you know blah blah

[QUOTE=Jabalab;37741591]Stock sounds bud. 28 days later came out in 2002, half-life 2 came out in 2004.[/QUOTE] And all my life I thought this crap was original? Dammit, but very informative though.

A lot of the sounds I hear on TV sound like HL2, and make me think they just ripped them from Half-Life 2 :saddowns:

And I thought there was some sort of secret meaning to that creepy sound. :v:

Yeah, they're the same, I think the one in 28 Days Later is just slightly slowed down.

[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;37741655]Yeah, they're the same, I think the one in 28 Days Later is just slightly slowed down.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's a slower/deeper sound. I actually think the 28 days later version is better/ more creepier .

In The Walking Dead's main menu you can hear HL2's TV sound.

Most if not all the sounds are stock sounds.

Always thought it was hidden secret behind it, sort of wish there was, it was such an out of place moment in HL2. Gman, on a boat, with a crow on his shoulder.

Half Life 2 has a pendant for using stock sounds. I've heard many HL2 sound effects in various games and movies. The most used is the clanking noise when you hit a metal object with a crowbar.

The stock sounds I probably hear the most that's used in both movies and hl2 is door closing and opening sounds.

Who made this sound and for what purpose? I never heard anything as creepy as it.

[QUOTE=ExplosiveCheese;37741621]And all my life I thought this crap was original? Dammit, but very informative though.[/QUOTE]HL2 uses a lot of stock sound effects, in fact a good majority of video games use stock sound effects.

You can't possibly expect a game company to record all their own original sounds all by themselves. It's impractical, especially since Valve was a smaller company back in those times (still big, but not huge).

Commercials/shows constantly use a certain woosh sound that I always associate with opening up a town portal in diablo II

I love when I hear stock sounds! One of my favourite, the unknown news anchor: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5AVkelNV8[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sOfO8Ei1g&t=2m27s[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5cxQKawbbE&t=5m15s[/media]

[QUOTE=Aurora93;37743290]they're called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(filmmaking)]foley artists[/url][/QUOTE] That must be such an awesome job. I actually want to get into something like that, I always have had the vision of making industrial area inspired music but using foley to create sounds and effects with real metal and such.

It sounds a bit like a number station, especially when the voices come in.

the sound of smashing the computers in cs:s it's like the fucking wilhem scream [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] and the whistling wind sound, I HEAR THAT EVERYWHERE I HATE IT

The HL2 fast zombie scream is in quite a lot of stuff too.

Companies use stock sounds all the time. The Doom door sound is used everywhere.

[QUOTE=Scotchair;37745830]The HL2 fast zombie scream is in quite a lot of stuff too.[/QUOTE] i remember it in crash bandicoot, the electric guys in the "lights out" level do it when you kill them [editline]21st September 2012[/editline] wasnt lights out, one of them though

Kelly Bailey did the soundtrack for 28 days and for a fair few valve games so that's probably why some sound effects appear similar

Bits of the audio are also used in some of the ambiance for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. In fact, in multiple pieces! edit: Oh, hey, that's already been said in the OP. Oh, well. I'll try to find the specific video.

[QUOTE=Scotchair;37745830]The HL2 fast zombie scream is in quite a lot of stuff too.[/QUOTE] Because it's the howie scream
