Post your warning noise: August

[Kingsnapped]

As we all know, you can record or download your own warning noise and save them in the ~>library>sounds folder. I'm sure we've all gotten sick of the drip and sosumi sounds... what do you use?

Here's mine (http://pitythefoo.com/upload/userfiles/brian/ugg.aiff)
props to me for the noise.

[Awimoway]

Here's mine (http://homepage.mac.com/mcdurkee/monkey.aiff)

It's an unlikely fusion of Johnny Carson and Jim Rome. Makes me smile every time.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I've had this one (http://www.geek.no/__ex/mrrriow.wav) for a long time now...

[yellow]

Monty, how we love you..

Mine (http://www.radonc.duke.edu/~yellow/damnation.aiff)

[Mr. Anderson]

I had this for a while, but it was too long :D

http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/python/Sounds/HolyGrail.wav/violence.wav

But this (http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/dramatic.wav) works better :D

[yellow]

Ah! A different, but equally funny Monty!

[Mr. Anderson]

Ok, I had this on my other computer and seeing this thread I tried to set it up again on my one at home, but for some reason it doesn't see the file in the sound control panel.

I put the file in the library>sound folder, but why won't it see it? Does it have to be in a special format?

[musicpyrite]

Well, I don't know any free uploading services, but I'll tell you what it is anyway.

It's from the scene in South Park, where Cartman is impersonating a police officer, and is trying to arrest someone, he then yells "YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!!!!"

Which format is it in? One of the .wav's above?

must be aiff format

[yellow]

Predictably I'd have these..
Once in a while I will switch to these two as well:

Homer (http://www.radonc.duke.edu/~yellow/doh.aiff)
Barney (http://www.radonc.duke.edu/~yellow/burp.aiff)

[Mr. Anderson]

must be aiff format

thanks,

Heh. Funny. I might have to adopt that one for home if you don't mind, iJon.

[King Cobra]

I like my warning sounds completely off.

Though I will share with you guys my iTunes "Conversion complete" sound effect. It's about a 200KB audio file.

[LeeTom]

Nice, King Cobra. I'm with you there, I like my sounds almost entirely turned off, except for the new mail sound. I like how "pleasant" your iTunes sound is, that's how they all should be. I rode some of the trains in Japan, and they have the most pleasant "train arriving" sounds ever. I don't know why people don't put more thought into them.
I also have my cell phone on vibrate 100% of the time. If I could make a law, jesus!

iJon, I have the orginal clip from the movie, but it's a .wav and mail doesn't play it correctly (it does in the preview, but not when I get mail). How do I convert the wav to an aiff.

have you tried firing up quicktime and converting it. im to lazy to try right now, nor do i have a wav file. if you can't do it just use mine, i find it satisfactory :) it's just not good for the work enviroment when you have external speakers on.

[ejb190]

I guess I am in that "silent computer" group. If I want sounds, I will put in a CD. I even have a weird habit of playing games with the sounds off...

That said, I used to have HAL from 2001 as my error message on my PC - "I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid i can't do that."

I very non-creatively use the included "glass" sound. :o

I'm sure nobody here will mind if you 'borrow' theirs. I rather enjoy having my computer scream at me when I accidently hit "enter" in Safari.

[Doctor Q]

HomerMuch like the one I used for while, which was a recording of my brother saying D'oh! Not using a custom one at the moment.

[pdpfilms]

Anybody have a free upload site? I've got a bunch of Napoleon Dynamite quotes that I'd love to share.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

This is my main mail sound (http://www.geek.no/__ex/mail.wav) for my two school accounts (I am after all taking a Master's degree). For my personal account I use this one (http://www.geek.no/__ex/elvira.wav).

I don't have an answering machine/service at the moment, but when I get one I'll use this one (http://www.geek.no/__ex/clouseau.wav) as the message. :D

Step 1: Find the file on your hard drive.
Step 2: Upload it to a server.
Step 3: Post a link to it.

Yep, that's a snippet from the Apollo 13 accident.
