Name That Sound

There is a man who is legendary when it comes to sound effects. His name is Ben Burtt, and these are some of the most recognizable examples of his work:




The Lightsaber: The hum came from a broken television set tuned between two VHF channels, while the click was produced by an idling film projector.




Chewbacca's voice: No, it's not an ape. It's actually a combo of barks and grunts from dogs mixed with the growls of lions and bears.

and my personal favorite...





R2-D2's voice: this amazingly cute (yes, I said it) droid's conversations are actually the sounds of Burtt whistling and making fart noises into an old tape recorder.


Let this be a lesson: don't ever let your parents tell you making fart noises will get you nowhere.
