It's been known for at least a decade now that the soundfx Doom or Heretic or Wolfenstein and most other games use came from sound libraries that are used in other forms of media. This is why you sometimes here the camel sounds on TV that were used for Doom's zombie men, or the pistol sound for gunfire on TV, or the Icon of Sin whooosh sounds in fiery explosions.
Sometimes, without even listening to these sound libraries, I can almost certainly tell that the soundfx I'm hearing in the background of a TV show were artificially inserted into the show. The sounds of babies crying, cats screeching, or children playing, almost always stick out to me. I think they only have like 3 individual sounds in that category or something because I hear them all the time. There's also laugh tracks I've heard so many times that I'm certain I've heard the same voices laughing in that perfect uniformity before.
Are there soundfx you hear repeated in tv shows or movies all the time like I do? Does it drive you crazy?
