Samantha's nose tinkle Given it was the 1960s, when women – even witches – were throwing off the shackles of the past, it was never going to be cool enough for modern witch Samantha Stephens (played by Elizabeth Montgomery) to wave a wand when she wanted to make magic in the series Bewitched. Still, it did give the car a distinctive sound to go with the look. Which is probably not very helpful when you're supposed to be undercover. KITT's whirr KITT, the Knight Industries Two Thousand, the talking car David Hasselhof drove in Knight Rider, was a state-of-the-art crime-fighting tool equipped with offensive and defensive capabilities, more computer power than NASA and, for reasons that were never quite explained, a red flashing light that gave off a very distinctive "whirr… whirr…" noise every few seconds.

The Star Trek transporter It's a shimmery, sparkly, chimey sound that accompanies away teams as they make use of one of the Star Trek universe's true miracles, the transporter beam. The cartoonists liked it and used if for their creation.Ħ. So what's that "beep-beep!" the cartoon version does? It's a sound Warner Bros artist Paul Julian made when he couldn't see where he was going. Road Runner's beep-beep Real road runners – the ones that live in the American wild and charge about at high speed avoiding real coyotes – are part of the cuckoo family, eat lizards and make a noise not dissimilar to a chicken (it's true, they're on YouTube!). But now, throughout the Western world it's synonymous with current affairs, a sure sign someone is about to go under the spotlight and (we'd like to believe) Michael Usher's ringtone.ĥ. The 60 Minutes tick Before this series kicked off in the 1960s in America, the sound of a stopwatch or clock counting down was most likely an indicator that a bomb was about to go off.
