Title: Most annoying sounds in arcade games
Post by: boardjunkie on July 07, 2011, 01:03:46 pm: Anything based on the Galaxian hardware gets my vote. Screechy, thin, and icky. No filtering=crap sound.

Post by: ark_ader on July 07, 2011, 06:04:05 pm: How about the screeching noise from the arcade owner telling us someone is stealing our bikes because we are playing Asteroids continuously for 45 minutes.

I hate that noise.

You're nuts. The 'extra man' sound in Centipede is one of the most gratifying out there!

When you do a Friendship in MK, and SHao Kahn almost rolls the r's. "Friendship... Frrrrriendship?"

Post by: Cynicaster on July 08, 2011, 05:11:41 pm: The "skidding" sound in Pole Position is freakin' irritating -- at least in MAME.

I was playing Pepper II the other day; great game, but that music gets extremely annoying in a big hurry.

Absolutely. Incidentally, I actually plugged that exact sound effect in the "cool sounds" thread.

Post by: jerryjanis on July 08, 2011, 07:24:34 pm: The 3-count in Mat Mania. The volume on that game was always cranked so that the sound would resonate throughout the entire arcade so that you would hear it no matter what game you were playing.

I like the mechanical sounds, but whatever comes out of that speaker makes my ears bleed.

Post by: Trebeck on July 08, 2011, 10:53:08 pm: I worked at a public horse ranch and they had Mario Bros. Apparently, when you have a huge hangover like my co-worker always did, getting the coins was the noise from hell.

Post by: brad808 on July 09, 2011, 06:58:39 am: The elephants in Dhalsim's level of street fighter 2, they eventually changed it in the later releases (turbo, super, ultra mega awesome versions)

The worst thing in my hyperspin setup is that the video preview for SF2CE is in Dhalsim's level so I constantly hear that noise and I've been too lazy to make a new video.

I like that little 'blip'.....'blip'. Same kind of sounds the Odyssey2 made. Not complex, but decent bass in them.

I can't think of any game sounds I hate anymore. Used to hate, or at least dislike, many of them. I've grown used to them.

I was just being silly, I posted the exact same response in the 'favourite sounds in arcade games' thread :D

Actually, seriously, I've been playing Crush Roller for the High Score Competition (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113019.0) and boy, does THAT music blow!
