Doom used a lot of free licence sounds (eg for doors opening, fire igniting) that I hear from time to time from other random sources too (eg in a movie).
It’s the same sound, but the nostalgia kick is powerful (but I do replay all Dooms evey few years tho … since they came out).
Bobcat growl
Doom door/elevator woosh
Ok but that’s just how the bird sounds in real life, that’s like saying cicada noises from Evangelion a haunting you through anime. imo a better example is the very specific and compressed bird sound in Ocarina of Time that can be heard in Glover and many other media.
For me it’s this police station chatter sound, ever since I heard it 25 years ago
I always think of the rooster call that’s used in Ocarina of time.
There’s also a laser beam noise that gets used in a couple n64 games and various other media. And a couple sounds from golden eye that I’ve heard used.
I can’t say for certain, but I think the popularity is probably due to a lot of these reused sounds being part of sound packs and compilations from the 80’s and 90’s
The door open and closing sound from morrowind is in every TV show and my wife hates it when I point it out.
Even without opening I can tell it’s the common loon, because that haunted me for years, and when I heard it as an adult, twenty years later I was like “Rogan?”
A good mealtime video about why it is so prevalent: https://youtu.be/DVFBUIGfcJk
Sure, blame it on your ISP!
I was like “Rogan?”

The alligators from UO. I hear them everywhere.
