While watching the show I always imitate the sound and it's kind of a *ching ching* for me.

Kate, non masonic, Saturday, 27 October 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link

I would have thought "kuh-kung."

roxymuzak, Saturday, 27 October 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

UPDATE: It had not occurred to me that they have variations on the signature sound, from the low dunk-dunk to the high ch-chhhh. But if you go by the repeating-sound gag in this YouTube clip

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5xM2XY4h-70

the first iteration is very clearly way more accented -- in the single-echo way I was talking about upthread.

nabisco, Saturday, 27 October 2007 22:51 (sixteen years ago) link

AND if you listen at the beginning of this clip, you will notice the second one seems maybe even slightly lower in pitch?

nabisco, Saturday, 27 October 2007 22:59 (sixteen years ago) link

(I think there is a repeating sound with two different tones mixed in, for a kind of doorbell-like DUNG dung.)

nabisco, Saturday, 27 October 2007 23:00 (sixteen years ago) link

each spinoff ought to have its own signature tone really
the CI one could just be a guy saying "donofrio!!"

El Tomboto, Monday, 29 October 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link

No, the CI one should be the clip of D'Onofrio whinnying like a horse.

n/a, Monday, 29 October 2007 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link

The one for Trial By Jury should be the anguished squeal of a man getting punched in the nuts.

I can't watch SVU at all because Meloni is permanently typecast in my mind as the camp cook in WHAS

I wish I had sound right now

El Tomboto, Monday, 29 October 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link

SVU is almost always this awesome.

HI DERE, Monday, 29 October 2007 17:37 (sixteen years ago) link

i just walked by another Law & Order shoot this morning and when passing the crew suppressed an almost irresistible urge to shout "DUNH DUNH!" at them.

¡Tchkung!¡Tchkung!

Minus the Spanish exclamation points, this looks like a Wade-Giles transliteration of a Pinyin version already mentioned.
