I'm looking for an audio file. Its the sound you here in for example a military program as "official" graphics appear to be typed onto the screen. posted by Yer-Ol-Pal to media & arts (7 comments total)
Do you mean the sound of a typewriter? posted by box at 10:29 AM on May 22, 2008
probably specifically a Selectric? posted by hattifattener at 10:34 AM on May 22, 2008
Maybe you mean the "twete teee te te te tweee te tweeee" sound. posted by odinsdream at 12:01 PM on May 22, 2008
odinsdream: you mean the telegraph/Morse sound? I don't think I've seen that associated with anything set after roughly WW2.
To me, the "military subtitles" noise sounds like an electric typewriter, presumably being used to type up a government report; the "newsroom" sound is a combination of mechanical typewriters and a teletype (steef's sound) in the background. posted by hattifattener at 12:13 PM on May 22, 2008
I think you might be talking about the sound that's in many video games, not sure what movies it's in.
