Fox News, Now With Teletype Sound Effects, For That Real News Sound!

[norml]

Today Fox News has added a new sound effect to the many sound effects that they already use. A teletype sound effect is now being used in transitions between one of their clips, or on screen models, and another. Will this mean less use of the whoosh sound effect, or does it mean that more overall air time will be taken up by sound effects? Their use of the bell sound effect seems to be unaffected. How important does the news have to be to get a bell, a whoosh, and a teletype sound? http://www.cjr.org/issues/2003/3/sound-engstrom.asp

3. It could be the sound of a machine gun.

Or it could be the sound of a very clacky sewing machine, or maybe it's the sound of Bill O`Reilly's dildo.

6. Yep, O'Reilly put his vibrator back in the desk w/o turning it off.

Boy, will he be pissed when he needs it later but the batteries are dead.

7. It might be that they are just using this sound effect on Linda Vester's

show. That's the only one I've heard it on. It could be to distract from her bugged out eyes, or to distract from her totally freeped out studio audience.
