Fake car locking noises!

[Dunclane]

Why do all cas being locked on tv have to be accompanied by the worst plip plip noise imaginable when being locked? It's just quite annoying!!

[arfur daley]

why does eastenders only have one car going past outside noise when people are filmed inside? is the guy in the black cab lost?

It seems it is mainly BBC programmes that use it even on cars that don't have a 'blip' when they lock.
Different cars same sound. Today's equivalent of the Wilhelm Scream

I've noticed this too. In TV land, even brand new cars seem to be fitted with a central locking and alarm system from 1988!

And no headrests like a 70's Allegro!

Rather difficult to film through them though, eh..

It's purely to keep the dubbing artists in gainful employment; other notable sounds include the "beep" when someone presses the call button on their house phone or the three quick "beep-beep-beep" noise from someone's mobile (which is always a nokia 3330) depicting low signal.

I realise that but it still irritates me. I need to get out more!

Why the sound anyway, cant the muppets see the locking button retract in the doors, and the lights flash.

My hired Ford Explorer recently locked fine with one press on the key fob, a 2nd press resulted in the Plip Plip, what for I have absolutely no idea.

The same way lights in warehouses actually make a sound when they turn on.

and every bomb makes a beeping sound as it counts down, plus a highly visual countdown timer.

These same warehouses also have the ability to slow electricty so that when you throw the switch, the lights come on row by row and not all at the same time with that heavy crunch sound.

Going back to the door lock sound, do you remember the anorak on "You Bet", who said he could identify a make of car by the sound of the door locking.

He did quite well as far as I can remember.
