Hypnotoad's sound effect?

[on:]

Does anyone know what sounds were used for the Hypnotoad?  I can't even think of one thing.

[Reply #1 on:]

The Millenium Falcon's engine sound, played in a continous loop. Don't look at me like that- *I* didn't figure it out!

[Reply #2 on:]

Nope. it's the opening sound effect from "Yar's Revenge". I used to love that game...

[Reply #3 on:]

I'm guessing that's a truly ancient game, from the ancient past of tape drives and WORDSTAR interfaces.

Hey, your site kicks ass! You've got the best episode synopses out there. A bit spoily for those who haven't seen them though. I couldn't agree more with the star-ratings though. The site also contains everything you'll ever want to know about Amy Wong, and much, much more besides.

Yeah... so, when are you gonna update the "Amy Wears..." page?

[Reply #13 on:]

From what I remember of the Falcon's engine noise, it was noticably higher pitched than the Hypnoise

[Reply #14 on:]

i think i heard somewhere that many of the guest voices and sound effects from the Simpsons were used in alot of futurama Episodes, it almost sounds like a lower pitched that could be heard at Homer`s PowerPlant

[Reply #15 on:]

hehe what episode was the Hypno toad in?

[Reply #16 on:]

The Day The Earth Stood Stupid

[Reply #17 on:]

I listened to the comentary track to that episode on the DVD. They don't mention how its done, but they say that the sound is named "angry machine" in the script...allways something

Yeah, the hypnotoad's sound is cool, but it's also annoying. Imagine hearing nothing but that sound, 24 hours a day. Wouldn't you want to kill it?

[Reply #22 on:]

Not really because you'll be under its power.

How perceptive of you! Though, I suppose it could be taken both ways.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, good one, HYPNO TOAD SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA, Oooh mercy.

[Reply #26 on:]

Just completely worthless, but it was funny at the Monaco Grand Prix one of the track-side cameras had a faulty sound system, so as the cars went by it sounded like that hypno-toad sound. 

[Reply #27 on:]

How about i shut your Mom`s "Pie Hole", Britz?

Yeah... thats what i thought...

If you don't hear a response, that just means no one's listening, not that they're threatened by you.

But Britz, take it easy. Flaming the troll for every response, is being a troll

Apologies for bumping this old thread, but I've got a question.  I've found sounds similar to "Angry Machine" on a couple of Hypnotoad web pages.  I've listened to them, and I think they're all from the sheep herding scene in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid."  They all have bleating sheep and ringing sheep bells in the background -- none are the "pure" sound effect, IMHO.

Does anyone know if "Angry Machine" is available somewhere?  Or is it on the DVDs?  TIA.

[Reply #33 on:]

GREATEST. SOUND EFFECT. EVER.

and unfortunately i'm not sure where to obtain it, they just discuss the "angry machine" noise a bit on the commentaries

[Reply #34 on:]

if anybody from the year 3000 on peel misses everybody loves hypnotoad you could check out this site.

I have a hypnotoad widget for my dashboard that seems to have a pretty pure version of the sound. Anyone know how to go about extracting it?

[Reply #36 on:]

The sound of hypnotoad is actually a carrier wave that is used as a navigation beacon.I had a vintage 50's multi-band receiver that would pick up this sound in the shortwave ranges.I believe it's still in use.

[Reply #37 on:]

You can probably find a MIDI or mP3 of it somewhere on the internet.

Here is a link to help you find it.
