I meant this sound from this Youtube short clip from Chewkz . I am not going to rewatch the whole LOTR and cut the clip and post it here…
I also dont know what the actual sound is called. Luckily this short shows that sound. There are many other videos but i just dont remember which.

Anyway, you can hear right at the end where the guy screams because he doesnt know how to take his Tesla down.
In LOTR movies, you hear this sound A LOT. Especially in big battle, a random Orc gets killed and screams like this. It happens in all 3 movies lol, so I wonder if this is a Peter Jackson thing …


It’s a little joke among filmmakers and sound guys, and frankly, I think it needs to stop. It’s a huge illusion break for an audience that’s figured it out.
Honestly don’t think I’ve spotted the wilhelm scream in new media for a while, it was fun for a bit but maybe we’re finally free.
They do a better job of making it fit into the sound design nowadays instead of sticking out like a sore thumb like it did in older movies. Harder to catch.
Last thing I saw it in was the Baldur’s Gate 3 intro.
I’m pretty sure it was in House of the Dragon as well
Was it? I’ve seen it a dozen times or so but didn’t notice
Yeah, when a bunch of tower debris fall on fleeing people.
Yeah it’s maddening, once you know it you hear it E V E R Y W H E R E q_q
