There are a few sounds from my youth that instantly bring back memories, and that's one of my favorites.

Would you care to share a wav file of it?

Chris:

The sad, pathetic part is that I actually **did** have an excerpt of a 1964 episode on my computer... so I've ripped the soundtrack of the clip to an .mp3 file.

If someone wants to host it, I'll be happy to forward it by email. It's about three minutes long.

I didn't happen to have a copy of the pilot at hand, but I'm sure that someone else can offer up a sample of it, if folks want to compare.

Why is that sad and pathetic? ;-)

Make it a wav file and I'll try to extract the sound effects from it. You can email me through the board.

If you have Audacity or Goldwave or something installed, you should be able to open the file as a native MP3, do whatever sound extraction you like, and save those extractions to any sound format you have a codec installed for. Goldwave is shareware, but Audacity is free as in beer: http://audacity.sourceforge.net.

The program is actually "free as in speech." Hardly anything on SourceForge is "free as in beer." ;-)

Thanks for the link, though.

ObGS: I made some edits of the DD/CS theme using Nero, but now they're long gone.

While it's nice little political statement for them to make, I'd suggest reviewing the Wikipedia definition, and you'll find that pretty much everything on SourceForge is in fact "free as in beer." It might be "free as in speech", too, but I've never seen a Sourceforge project you had to pay money to use.

I am in receipt of a copy of the sound effect in question. It sounds to me like 120 Hz being applied to some kind of inductor that makes a buzzing noise, perhaps some kind of device cooked up in the NBC sound effects department.

WOW... I thought I was the only one who has fond memories of the NAME/MATCH flip and its accompanying sound!

Not in this group, toots. Heck, it goes back to the old a.t.-g.s. days...

(Poster: "David Johnson"): The Match Game (NBC version with two celebs)--the way the two halves of
"Match" in the title would come together on that one drumbeat in
"Swingin' Safari" plus the sound effect that accompanied the large
panels when they flipped to "MATCH", which sounded like a vacumm cleaner
that was switched on and off for a split second.
