- List of the 100 most Iconic Video Game Sound Effects!
Iconic : Widely recognized and acknowledged
Sound Effect : A sound, other than speech or music, made artificially for use in a dramatic presentation.
I tried to choose the most iconic picks, pulling from many popular video games and considering their sound effects, but a list like this will always be subjective to some degree. Hopefully it's entertaining, if nothing else!
The list gets much more diverse after around halfway.

14:20 10-1
(I didn't include any sounds clearly made with human voices, or any jingles as per the definition of sound effect--I'm gonna' make those categories into their own top 100 list!)
If you enjoyed, subscribe!!! Next video is iconic video game jingles!

@no That noise used to scare me when I was young. lol
Kefka' laugh
My brain: Sonic.EXE
Scary shite seeing that for the 1st time..then was sally.exe😱😱😱☠️
You all are disgraces, recognizing the laugh from a shitty sonic fan game rather than one of the best games of all time! You fools (This is a joke, I know it sounds pretentious. Also, the pfp thing doesn't make sense how that I've changed it
@@LtCdrXander i always laugh when some says you fools! 🤣🤣🤣 You're probably right, i just never had a chance too, now i think emulators are a gold mine
Btw i see now the exe game can be shitty, but DAMN the sonic pic of him smiling with those DEVIL eyes..just spoopy😣😣😣
Me too!

Most of these "iconic" lists are really up to the creator's personal experience, but I recognized almost all of these immediately despite playing less than half of the games. (I didn't even know that some of them CAME from video games?) Definitely iconic!
Makes me wonder: has this sadsack never played _DOOM?!_
@@ArcaneAzmadi If I'm the sadsack in question, then yes I've never played DOOM 😅
Exactly. This video is shit because he only puts the sound effects from games that are either super popular that everyone knows or super easy casual pick up and play games. He doesn’t put the sound effects from games that are just as iconic but just require more focus and patience to get deep into. Like, if he could put Dark Souls, he could have put DOOM.
@@outerspaceman7534 I think the point of the video was not "sounds from iconic video games," but "iconic sounds that happen to come from video games."
So it doesn't matter what games were used, what I'm impressed with is that the sounds are actually iconic in general society, aka well-known OUTSIDE of those specific gaming circles!
@@the-inatorinator Which were the ones you did not know came from videogames?
(P.S.: I'm also a fellow sadsack who hasn't played Doom either [yet], lol.)
Video: At 0:02 says *No voices*
Also video: *proceeds to include Pokémon crys and Sans' voice*
these aren't voices !
@@Ensnare15 *Technically* they are, but I know what you mean
"the sound produced in a person's larynx and uttered through the mouth, as speech or song."
the argument you would be making is non-technical. even then, I would ask text scrolling sound in an RPG counts as a voice
ask if*
@@Ensnare15 That's why I said, "but I know what you mean"
13:10
a sound imprinted into a persons mind to be forever remembered
So, the "Item got" from Ocarina of Time isn't here
thats a jingle!
@@Ensnare15 Makes sense 🤔
But i was refiring to just the 4 last notes, still a jingle?
(I don't even know what exactly a jingle is, sorry xD)
@@HSchristian117 A Jingle is a usually short but catchy song, so that would classify as a Jingle
@@SAM-tc3wr I see 😮
Thank you
thats legit what i was gonna say
"10 Giants"
*Puts down super mario bros 3 times*
you disagree?
@@Ensnare15 Halo was super impactful and important to the fps genre. Megaman put Capcom on the map and street fighter is still the face of fighting games. Tetris used to be the #1 most sold game, and has been on practically every system ever. Minecraft is THE #1 most sold game and is a cornerstone of modern day internet culture. Pokemon is the largest media franchise in the world by a massive margin. I get why you had 4 different mario franchises, but I personally don't think all four deserve the "big 10" more than the above games.
@@zl2835 It's not the 10 most importants games, it's the 10 most iconics sounds in general.
@@Ensnare15 thats not it I think its just because you put down Mario 3 times making it more like 8 giants
@@Ensnare15 neither pokémon nor zelda were on there🤔
9:57
a sound meant to strike fear in hearts, whether wielded by an elite in campaign, or an enemy in multiplayer
9:07
where men stopped worrying
Only men
Same affect as a deep breath
For sounds like "Hadouken!" and the Zelda puzzle sound, they will be in the next couple categories I make--so make sure to subscribe to see them.
EDIT: I feel like it's a hate crime that I didn't put the Skyrim skill level up sound, so just know it would 100% be in here too.
You should include the Combine Gunship Roar in the next one.
69 likes
@@weed884 whoops
@@Bacony_Cakes unlike the comment or you're gonna have a bad time
you should include some doom sounds like the super shotgun reload
12:28 quick scope
When you played the Minecraft XP sound, that hit me.
15:03 No, this is Patrick
ok but the classic minecraft hurt sound is weirdly well-known for how long it's been since it was removed
It was REMOVED?!!
ok in my opinion the old sounds like the door sound or the water splashing are way more iconic than the newer ones
11:57
a sound that signaled that physics would cease to work for a moment
You’d think that impacting with your body horizontally would spread out the force equally and save you, but nope, you just walk off with broken bones
15:03
meme sound with iconic legacy
Stop commenting
Its nit a fucking meme sound.
@@zahkrosis666 but now yes
The editing and overall presentation on this one is top notch! Well done!
Looking forward to your next project!
dude as someone learning to edit, this is invaluable and also SO MUCH WORK. Thank you so so much for creating this, knowing that you made this makes me want to learn more and get better!! Thank u
It's a shame ace attorney's iconic desk slam didn't end up here
OBJECTION you see there's no way the deffendent could have forgotten this therefor meaning they purposefully left it out like tf2s kazotsky kick, rocket jump waltz and the main theme
critical shot tf2 NOW
@Splatsquidharry Take That! But what if the defendant had never heard the sound? That would leaving it out unfair!
@@Burger03 In court, evidence is everything. Where is your proof the defendant never heard the sound? Without it... you have no case!
15:05
Sans is a fictional character created by Toby Fox for the 2015 role-playing video game Undertale. He is introduced as a comic relief and acts as the final boss if the player chooses to kill all the monsters and complete the genocide route
Ok
Nah man, sans is a font
C O M I C S A N S
E e e e e
Excellent job on these, can't wait for the video covering the jingles!
10:19
a sound meant to gratify the mind and spirit
wow, thank you so much for putting this together
9:18
The sound that gets rid of my fear of the dark 🥲
I love that you included the minikit sound. :D
5:06 That's the sound that plays when SM64 starts up, not the coin collection sound. I mean, it plays multiple times in a row, but it probably should've been the repeated sound, not the individual sound.
its the same exact sound ! I chose to play every sound individually for the most part
@@Ensnare15 Ok. I know the sound that plays when you collect a coin is the same sound as the sound that plays when the games is loaded up, just repeated multiple times very fast. I just didn't know whether you knew that or not. I'm not calling you stupid, just I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Most old games back then didn’t have a lot of memory so they had to re use sounds slowed or sped up.
4:40 As a gen one pokemon player, my heart literally stopped
commenting for the algorithm ;) (but also proud of this list good job)
13:55
a sound to be heard with dread in the heart
Why have you commented like 15 times?
Yes I have 2 times
The sound in Zelda when you discover a secret should be one of the 10 giants, and it isn't even on the list.
thats a jingle!
jesus all of this is so beautifully memorable
Well I didn’t expect to see lego Star Wars, but I’m not complaining
15:03
I was like,
WHA-
Sans: Eeeeeeeee
@@iloveads1111
Eh eh eh
I really like how this video is done. It doesn't just have the sound and that's it. It includes a clip. Also, I can really tell the person who uploaded this definitely has a taste in games lol. Nintendo and Xbox took up 95% of the list.
13:26
meant to scare the unwary
Man, I’m just happy FFVI is in here. No one ever talks about that game anymore, but it’s still my favorite
i am a fan
*-No Voices*
Sans: ima’ pretend I didn’ hear that, k kid?
I got here to get an idea wich game sound I was gonna use for cel notifications... thanks bro ! That was mindblowing ! I'm definitely using resident evil's sound ! And as a ringtone, GTA San andreas theme... that song still gives me chills
100 of the most* fixed that for you
That guttural reaction to “Zubat cry”
Loved this, was like a lil quiz show for myself :)
I feel like this should have included the sound that plays when Scorpion throws his spear in the early Mortal Kombat games.
I agree with this list!! Number 1 is well deserved!!
3:58 NO WAY!😮😮😮😮
I didn't know that Sonic.exe laugh was actually Kefka's laugh, until now!
the fact that you included delelelelele whooooooop gives me so much joy
Some of these sound effects are stuck in my mind for life. Great sounds. Iconic for sure. You can guess the game they are from just from hearing the effect.
You Know I subscribed purely bc of the nostalgia and the end petting the subscribed button!
2d games just hit different
0:30
Amazing content holy crap the time must take to get this crap keep it up!
this one knows LMAO
good video man :)
Even the pet the subscribe button sound is iconic from Among us memes, thanks to iconic super mario world credits theme. It just works
*FUS RO DAH*
Brilliant!!
The Sonic Ones always makes my day and me happy. I remember my lovely childhood with Sonic, so nostalgic!
BTW, the kefka laugh is OMG! So this is where my boi, Sonic.exe's laugh originated...😇
Have a nice day and good job!
So much nostalgia in one video
I was expecting the Silent Hill siren on here too! But still top notch list!
can we appreciate how the "sans" one is written with comic sans font
I was expecting Lavos's scream to be somewhere, that sound will always be in my head
This video would be perfect for birds to listen to.
bro thanks to you ive gained like 30 followers in under 2 months. thanks so much
This will be popular in no time, just you wait!
Would have included the Doom door sound, the Pokeball sound and the Tomb Raider item sound where Lara goes "uh-huh" (tho it has a jingle attached). Otherwise great, comprehensive list
Edit: Just realized Lara's "uh-huh" counts as a voice, so nevermind
Doom Door was in there, but apparently its actually a sound from a sound collection that they purchased. Pokeball was in there but I ended up cutting it. Thank you for watching :))
@@Ensnare15 Not a good enough excuse. Doom Door is a top 5 most iconic gaming sound effect of all time, no matter where they got it from.
A little surprised the "low hearts" sound from Zelda didn't make it in, though it could just be that I'm at low health so often, the beeping is engraved in my mind.
Beedoo beedoo beedoo beedoo beedoo 😠 i know game knock it off
This video : *Exists*
Mario : It's free real estate.
15:03 oh my god, the word “Sans” is written in the font Comic Sans! Very nice touch to have Easter eggs on a video about games!
you know
its wierd feeling nostalgic when you havent even played an old game
specifically (100-91 to 60-51)
cuz im 18
and i havent rly played the old classics
so im probably gon go play them xd
I'll say, the fanf 1 main jump scare noise is pretty iconic.
wow amazing :O
Kricketune cry should be in the 10 giants list .
*DELELELE... Nah, I won't finish!*
i think most people knew kefka's laugh from sonic.exe rather than FF6 (including me)
Next you should do top 100 jingles!
that KO in ultimate! sheesh!
I love that you specially used comic sans for sans name lmao
Gotta love the added detail of using lowercase comic sans for the sans portion of the video
That #68. You will hear it so very, very often.
i think its funny , how we can know the games just with a few unique sounds. f.e we can distinguish super mario with super mario world, just by the sounds of the coins or the Jumps...
Do you know the sound effect name used in the yt video "Eternal Darkness - Chattur'gha's Maw Cutscene" at 0:37? It's even used in anime and other video games but I can't get my hands on it :/
Of course you had to include Kricketune. Its sound is just that memetic!
This entire .wav is going straight into my Octatrack 💪🏽
I can agree with this list, they definitely are all iconic.
13:50 The preview sound effect you used is actually from Primed TNT, not a Creeper.
i pulled it straight from here: ua-cam.com/video/RK0WyUqrI54/v-deo.html
@@Ensnare15 I see. I don't remember Creepers, or the explosion effect that followed, sounding like that, or having that long of a delay. Then again, I started playing Minecraft at around 1.6, maybe they changed it at some point before then.
Part2 please 💪
you should do most iconic jingles next
The regenerador from Resident Evil 4. That breathing sound that sends shivers down our spines.
4:04 Sonic.EXE's Laugh!
Cringe
People most likely used Kefka's laugh for Sonic.EXE
These were great, I just wish you had made each one of them a bit longer.
Dude, I played Mario alot when I was little and never realized the damage sound and pipe sound were the same.
ikr
I heard the intervention sound in so many memes that I forgot that it came from cod.
Two sounds I expected the most: the Frying Pan sound and then"Knockout!" from Cuphead
knockout is in my new voice line video
Ahem and ace attorneys Famous OBJECTION and tf2s kazotsky kick, rocket jump waltz and the main theme
@@SplatsquidHarry songs are not sound effects.
Everything about Super Mario Bros. is absolute classic.
The Sonic 3 Sky Sanctuary Zone teleporter sound/final boss laser effect might have been a good one
Most of the sounds you hear in Dark souls comes from the game Demon's souls
Part of me feels like there probably should have been some sound effects from Doom and Quake in this video. The Quad Damage pickup sound in particular is pretty iconic.
Super Shotgun from Doom 2, armor and health pickups, the doors from doom
I mean it's a top 100 with the number of games in existence there's bound to be sounds that are excluded, hell you could make a top 100 iconic sounds without ever getting out of the 80's
Mojang still hasn't fixed the door bug where the sounds are random and/or inverted.
