Your favourite sound in Doom

[Sonikkumania]

Doom has a collection of sounds we've all come to love (or despise). I'd like to start a conversation regarding your personal fav sounds.

 

Here's mine:

-Item pickup sound (The Beep).

-Chainsaw idle sound, like a purring cat.

-Weapon pickup sound.

-SSG reload sound.

-Rocket Launcher firing sound.

-Demon death sound. Reminds me of bacon.

[DannyMan]

The pistol firing sound from the PSX version.

[Silhouette 03]

Without a doubt the Doom 2 SSG firing sound. It's still loud and impactful to this day.

Yes, I remember hearing the very same sound from those old Flash animations.

[TheMightyWhoosh]

Gibbing.

[Arrowhead]

I've always liked the 'door-closing' sound, or the 'elevator-rising sound'.

[Soon2bGlue]

Shotgun blast, so satisfying every time

Speaking of which, do you remember the old versions, where the "fast door opening sound plays twice" bug was present? For a long time I thought that's how it was meant to be.

[MFG38]

Arachnotron death sound.

[DynamiteKaitorn]

Archvile death.

Plasma rifle firing.

[7Mahonin]

The weapon pick up sound.

Regarding the topic, YT user decino has a video covering up the majority of Doom sound effects origins, which are mostly from stock sound libraries. I love these sounds, as they were present in various other games of the time. Anyway, here's the link:

 

[cambreaKer]

DSSKLDTH.

[SMG_Man]

ssg, plasma gun, and arachnotron death sounds are all the pinnacle of sound design

[Dimon12321]

Item pickup sound for PSX/Saturn/N64 versions.

[Graf Zahl]

Tie between Archvile and Revenant death, both are extremely satisfying to hear. :)

 

[thiccyosh]

DSMNPAIN

[SilverMiner]

DSSHOTGN and DSPLPAIN playing at the same time

[Merry Widow]

I like the imp and pinky snorts.Weird.

[A Handsome Fridge]

SSG all the way. And I hate mods\wads that have the nerve to ever change that sound, lol. And the dying pinky is also very good.

[ImproversGaming]

The cyberdemon death sound is so satisfying as I know I have made it.

I also like how the sounds build together into a rich atmosphere like a rocket into a sea of imps, some gib, some just die some are pained and others are hunting.

[CittyKat112]

Arch-vile death sound.

[YMB]

Counter-intuitively, I'd say it's actually the Arch-Vile SIGHT sound for me - nothing else in Doom gets more of an instant visceral reaction out of me than that.

[mrthejoshmon]

The PSX Powerup sound:

 

 

 

Video should play right at correct point.

 

EDIT: Close enough

[PRO-RC]

Baron of Hell wake up sound, its just a loud scream from the depths of hell.

[ASON-Z-]

Arachnotron death sound. The brain getting blown up and shutting down.

Baron death sound. Its distinctive cry of pain.

Revenent death sound. CRUNCHY

Mancubus death sound. Its head getting split open and its body starts melting.

And the glorious Super Shotgun blast!

 

Hell I love all the sounds!

Cyberdemon walking, it sounds so heavy.

[user76828904]

All those gibbing sound FX after BFG9000's spray.
Arachnotron's death sound FX.
Archvile's death sound FX.

[DaAndroid614]

probably either arachnotron death or the menu navigation sounds
