Star Trek Sound Effects as Written Words

[Mark 2000]

Just posted this up on YouTube. Since I've been working on the comic I've been forced to invent onomatopoeia for the various sounds in Trek. Here's a primer on what I've come up with:

Oh Lord, how I wish I was drunk as I watched that!!

 

[Maurice]

As a kid I always mimicked the door swoosh as "shhh-FAHK".

 

[Mark 2000]

As a kid I always mimicked the door swoosh as "shhh-FAHK".

That sounds vaguely dirty.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

As a kid I always mimicked the door swoosh as "shhh-FAHK".

I always thought of it as shhh-LINK.

I always thought of it as shhh-LINK.

I always took it as she what?

 

[F. King Daniel]

To me it's always been "Shhhht". Hence the awesome cut in the last movie, where Scotty goes, "Holy sh-" *cut to doors opening elsewhere*

 

[CorporalCaptain]

"Shhhht".

Me too.

Hence the awesome cut in the last movie, where Scotty goes, "Holy sh-" *cut to doors opening elsewhere*

I hadn't caught that. I'll watch for that next time I rewatch.

I never thought the door would be the most contentious sound

 

[Cyke101]

I've been saying it like Shatner in Airplane II.

 

[Maurice]

Nah, the sound goes up at the end, and Shhhhht doesn't cover it. Maybe ShhhhHOCK.

 

[publiusr]

I wonder if anyone ever played the sounds thru a voice recognition/translation program.

For circuits arcing

phasp!

 

[GreenBlood]

If doors opening sounds like 'shhhhht', I guess doors closing should sound something like 'thhhhs'...maybe not...

 

[allstar77]

Think I just peed a little.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

The T in ShhhhhT is aspirated by the way (capitalized for effect).

 

[Green Shirt]

Nah, the sound goes up at the end, and Shhhhht doesn't cover it. Maybe ShhhhHOCK.

Shhhhht for the movies, my she WHAT or your ShhhLOCK
on TV.
