Suitcases never have anything in them. You can’t unsee it.

    Stock sound effects are comically misused sometimes. I think my favorite was in one of the Schwarzenegger movies (True Lies?) a helicopter (with no wheels) lands kinda hard, and you hear a car-tires-screeching-to-a-halt sound.

    Also not really an error, but once you recognize a stock sound effect, you’ll start hearing it constantly. Like every single time someone sits down to eat, they make the exact same silverware-clanking-against-the-plate sound (especially in shows like Chopped - every time the judges go in for a bite, same clickety-clank.

      That and clicking metal every time someone handles a weapon. Like, is your pistol grip super loose or something? Why did picking up a gun make an oily metal clack?

      Of course I know the real reason. We’re trained to expect it and something seems “off” when we don’t hear those sounds. Like using a hawk sound for an eagle, or a tiger’s roar for a lion.

      Like everyone’s favorite stock sound effect, “Man getting bit by an alligator, and he screams.”
