Ray Combs Family Feud Question

"Suspiciously Similar Music." Even TV Tropes went away from using Mr. Hart as the namesake.

Ah..thank you!

So rather than say "they changed the pitch and tone of the tick in order to evoke the sound of the Pyramid flute without actually using that sound" we got an obtuse reference that only the writer understands.

Maybe I'll start writing out my thoughts here solely in emoji.

I think the face-off buzzer was used to indicate a wrong answer on some Goodson show...can't quite remember...

Not a Goodson show, but ISTR Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak used it to signal a duplicate clue.

Think that was it. 

Someone mentioned the "wrong guess" buzzer from Wheel repeating in High Rollers...well, I think it was the time's up sound in Bullseye as well.  And of course, later on Wheel would lift the 1987 High Rollers' insurance marker sound. 

Besides Sale (and its SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR version), the Pyramid countdown also appeared on other Bob Stewart shows, such as Chain Reaction.

NBC had three distinct chimes (not G-E-C :-)).  The one mentioned turning up in Card Sharks and others, the other two you could hear on Blockbusters '80...one was on several shows, the other most notably on Password Plus.
