Kitt: What's the official name of that sound? Mike Post: The ching.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/59/Iching-hexagram-64.png Hexagram 64 is named 未濟 (wei4 ji4), "Not Yet Fording". Other variations include "before completion" and "not yet completed". Its inner trigram is ☵ (坎 kan3) gorge = (水) water, and its outer trigram is ☲ (離 li2) radiance = (火) fire.

Besides a synthesizer, what instrument would make this noise? I picture something hollow and thick, almost like something made of animal horn or wood, but really large, struck in a big echo-y room.
― Jesse, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link
from the same Mike Post thing I just quoted: "I found a sample of a jail door closing, and I put it with a couple of little other sounds, and made this ching-ching thing."

Like a...gavel?
― Eazy, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, wait, it's not just a gavel, it's also a cell door slamming shut!
― Eazy, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link
and monks stomping on a floor
― El Tomboto, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
seriously there are people who thought that was a gavel?
are you deaf?
Belzer calls it a gavel in the USA promo.

Not like a gavel, no. Unless it is a gigantic, hollow, sonorous gavel.
― Jesse, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Processed gavel sound, yes.
― Eazy, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Recorded up close but then mixed with a 'cathedral' setting.
gavel: chopped and screwed
― HI DERE, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I think there's a gavel in there and then a synth line added to go with it.

to all those who say it is a gavel, I say:

it was originally a gavel but the 9/11 commission in league with the vatican and the rand corporation covered it up & made it a jail door
― and what, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:38 (sixteen years ago) link
for the record, it's the sound of Det. Eliot Stabler slamming a child rapists' face twice into the table of the interrogation room.

All options here seem to suggest that it's the same sound both times! But there's a total difference in what MIDI would call, umm, velocity.
― nabisco, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean, it's got the same phrasing as "ch-ching," if instead of "ching" the root were "dung."
― nabisco, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link
This is my compy's "you f'ed up" sound. DUNG DUNG.
I just watched one last night about a writer in some blackmail circle, was surprisingly good. Second ep I've ever seen and fuck if I need another TV show to zone out to but there it is.
― Abbott, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link
nabisco, sorry, but the metrical rhythm of this sound is definitely spondaic, not iambic
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link
QONG QONG
doesn't this sound out as "chung chung" in pinyin?
― gff, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I think you have that backwards elmo - "ch-ching" would be short-long/unstressed-stressed, in the theme the second beat is harder/longer = it's an iamb
― J0hn D., Friday, 26 October 2007 18:10 (sixteen years ago) link
You're right, Elmo, I'm remembering it backwards.
It's almost like a long delay/echo that's been truncated to just two sounds: DUNG-Dung (dung dung dung dung...)

also john and tokyo rosemary are right: it's CHUNG CHUNG.
― remy bean, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
J0hn I think Elmo's right! First one shorter but more stressed: DA-dunnng
― nabisco, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Not quite. QENG QENG would be closer to "chung chung."
― jaymc, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
there's absolutely nothing resembling a hard "ch-" sound in it.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
no no! both beats have the same emphasis! SPONDEE.
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_&_Order#The_card.2C_and_the_sound
This is accompanied by a tone, which has been described as a "DUN dun" or "thunk thunk" sound. It was originally developed to sound like a barred door in a jail cell slamming shut (Law). In promos for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit reruns on the USA Network, actor Dann Florek refers to the sound as the "doink doink"[9], while Richard Belzer refers to it as the sound of a judge's gavel. According to IMDb.com, it "was created by combining close to a dozen sounds, including that of a group of monks stamping on a floor."
Tomboto was right.
― Eazy, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
i'd call it KUNG KUNG tbh
― gff, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link
both beats have the same emphasis, elmo's right. it's just that first one's overwritten by the attack of the second one, which is allowed a slow decay.
― remy bean, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I definitely hear the first one shorter/more staccato but haven't counted the note values so you could be right
― J0hn D., Friday, 26 October 2007 18:17 (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?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dCV5G-ZTc14
― 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.
