Have you noticed in films and tv shows.....?!
Question: ....when they need a sound effect for a creaky gate or a door, its always the same old sound effect? Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this.

Most of the time, producers will rely on "recognizable" sound effects. The fact that you hear it and realize what it applies to means it has done its job. Using different sound recordings will just take away from the shows' action and will actually detract from the "watching experience." (My favorite sound effect was, way back in the sixties and seventies, the sound of whenever a car was in an accident. The actual sound was of a car being crunched in a car compactor at a junk yard, which is not how a car sounds when it's actually rolling down a hill or plowing into a tree, but I swear it was used WHENEVER a car was having any kind of accident!)
Sure I have. And what is your reason for asking?
Canned sound effects are pretty common. And a creaking door sounds pretty much like every other creaking door, so what does it matter?
Lol! Hells yeah! Isn't that tired?
I know!! It relly bugs the crap out of me I thought I was the only one noticing
Yes! I have noticed this and it drives me crazy!! They do the same for giggling children. Its been the same old soundeffect since i was a little girl. I think its about time that they invested in some new sounds!
Yes, and it's always 1 of 3 canned laughs on sitcoms.. and the same Applause tracks (that I last heard used on NBC's "Thanksgiving Day Parade" coverage, piped in for added excitement -- and so you don't actually HEAR what people are shouting, and the insults that come too, even as meekly as kids saying "who's that?!" as people wave on floats). There's 600, 700-thousand people lining the parade route -- and you can't hear NOT one talking, especially any loud kids? or adults/parents shouting for celebs to turn their way, to take their picture?
(come on)
My pet peeve for sound effects, is the near-generic sound of a "record-album scratching".. for someone's sudden shock, or the word thing said or done in TV & radio commercials. It's over used, and in fact -- no one actually hears a record album scratching day-to-day, for about 20-25 years now.
Your complaining about that.
They all have the same electronic equipment to reproduce various sounds and you're not supposed to notice.
May be ,get rid of sound effect,enjoy the films.
They forgot to oil the hinges.
Probably pretty cheap to do that. The Wilhelm scream is a scream you hear alot, too.
