This is prompted by Jamie & Jimmy's Food Fight Club which Mrs. S has been watching of late. Every time Jamie or his mate are cooking next to a field, barn or anywhere outside and rural (as you do) I can hear the "library crow". This can be heard in movies and TV shows, British and American, and probably Australian. I haven't actually logged it. The conversation will be along these lines:
SWR - it's that crow again
MrsS - it's just a crow
SWR - but it's exactly the same every week
MrsS - but why would they add the sound of a crow
SWR - for atmosphere
Anyway I'm right.
There are loads. In the mid-90s I bought The Elder Scrolls 3 - Daggerfall (I think that's what it was called) and a couple of sounds from there crop up all over the place. There's a creaky dungeon/castle door, and a horse neighing which was definitely in Gladiator.
And I have to mention the Library Fox. I think it's a fox. It's sort of half way between a dog barking and an owl screeching. Step outdoors in any BBC or ITV crime drama after dark and it won't be long before you hear the blood-chilling cry. One you've probably never heard in real life. It was a regular in Inspector Morse and has cropped up more recently in Inspector Linley. I bet it's in George Gently.
There must be many more, but clearly not enough choice.
