I can't tell if it's exactly the same or just eerily similar. I do remember reading somewhere that not all the sounds in Starcraft were made by Blizzard and some are samples from elsewhere, so that might explain it. Or maybe the group just took it out of BW, who knows.

But anyway, I found this pretty interesting and was shocked to hear it, so I just thought I'd share!

Blizzard extensively uses commercial cds in their games. I'm in possession of quite a few of them actually. So, yes, you'll find them everywhere if you know what to listen for.

i heard it, sounded exactly the same haha. probably a reused sample, don't think they would sample sc music.

i really like that track though i'm going to listen to more of that group

That explains it. I could swear I've been hearing SC sound effects all over the place. I thought I was nuts. The most memorable was in an episode of Drew Carey where a glass shield rises out of Mimi's desk and I was sure it made the same sound as a Terran building lifting off. I think during the arc where Drew almost hits Mimi with his car by accident and she thinks he was trying to kill her.

Yup, it's another popular sample used in movies:

Yeah, I've definitely heard that scream before. Doesn't it have a special name?... something something falling into the distance?

Edit: Here's what I was thinking of. "Gut-wrenching Scream And Fall Into Distance", also called the Howie scream, apparently.

I think it's the Wilhelm scream, it's so overused it's not even funny anymore

oh no, the one in Starcraft is the Howie scream

It is that fated sound, so little heard early-on in TvP, which spells an incoming all-in MnM rush: ACADEMY!
Or just get scan

There's an Amon Tobin song that uses the BW sound warping-in a building.

This song is epic.

And at first I was like...what the F is this dude on crack? *scroll down* all these people are weird, I don't hear anything.

Then I realized I started the song at 2:15 (after it had played...) and when I went back and re-listened to this song in its entirety, I just almost flipped my desk over. Nice catch haha.
