Sound engineers and Foley artists go to extreme lengths for creating even the most simple sound effects. Their whole idea is to bring perfection and make their audios sound as genuine as possible. Here are 15 stories where studios went next level to create sound effects:
1For creating the sound effects of the skeletal cartoons inCoco,Pixarused some actual bones. They put together a sort of “bone orchestra” in a barn that was full of bones, woodblocks, petrified wood, and musical instruments.
2The sounds which the flying crafts made inBlack Pantherwere actually the sounds of birds. The crew took African birdcalls, pitched them, and slowed them down. The result gave them tonal signatures for the spaceships.”
3Packaged livers played a crucial role in the sound department of Spielberg’sET. The sound of packaged liver moving around in a flat container was used to give the sound effects of ET’s limbs movement.
4To create the sound of the lid of the Ark of the Covenant sliding off, the makers ofRaiders of the Lost Arkrecorded the sound of a toilet tank cover being removed.
5When Tuco broke Lars’ and Cal’s legs inBetter Call Saul, the makers used pig squeals to create the horrific screams.
6Every time you hear the sound of people kissing on-screen, it’s actually someone kissing their hand. Foley artists record kissing sounds by kissing on their own hands.
7There was actually a human giving Godzilla’s cry in the 1998 movie. Gery Hecker who did Godzilla’s roar combined a metal sound with his own voice to get the effect you hear in the movie.
8The sound effect for the creatures inA Quiet PlacePart I was actually the sound of a stun gun pressed against grapes, pitched down.
9The sound designers ofJurassic Worldused the squealing sounds of fennec foxes to attain the sound of Indominus Rex.
10The sound effects that you hear in Steven Spielberg’sLincolnare very very authentic. The crew apparently got the approval to enter the White House and record the sounds there including the clock that was actually in Lincoln’s office.
11To create the sound of a crankshaft broken in a plane’s engine, the sound designers ofDunkirkput a billiard ball inside a tumble dryer.
12To create the sound of dragon wings flapping, the sound designers ofGame of Thronesused leather jackets and hurled them in the air.
13To create the sound of Shadow Monster in Stranger Things, the sound designers used tornado sounds. In the tornado sound, they also added insect sounds to make it sound more ominous.
14The screams that you heard of the Ringwraiths inLord of the Ringswere actually the sounds of plastic cups and seals. The crew purchased plastic cups from Target, recorded the sound of them scraping, then added that to the sounds of harbor seals to get the effect.
15The squeaking sounds of the rats that you heard inIndiana Jones and the Last Crusadeweren’t actually rats. The sound designers of the film used high-pitched, annoyed chicken chirps which worked pretty.
