One sound effect that has found a following with many sound editors and observant movie fans is a distinctive scream named Wilhelm.

I've heard about this. Quite the random post. You do travel for internet tidbits, eh?

I like it, it doesnt get annoying like a lot of frequently used sound effects. Unlike that one of kids laughing and that wind one, you know the ones I mean...right?

I've heard the kids laughing one. Sometimes there's a "Hooray" thrown in. They use it a lot in trailers for Disney movies.

that website needs updating as the wilhelm has been used in Revenge of the Sith since that site was last edited.

during the great Battle of Coruscant when the sormtrooper gun turrets are destroyed by Grevious's battle ship, one of the troopers gets blown through the air and Wilhelm is heard there.

Plus there is a Battle droid variant of the wilhelm aswell when the ship nosedives into the atmosphere and a group of droids are blasted out into space
