Thanks for that! Do you have any idea what scream this is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3WimCPUkQY

It's from the Terran Academy in StarCraft, and I've heard it in other places but don't know the name of it.

It appears to be called the "Youraagh" scream.

There's also that child laughing sound clip that's used everywhere, is there a name for it?

Great find! I know that there is one other scream that I hear constantly in movies but I have no idea if it has a name... I'll have to make sure to keep an ear out for it!

There is a really annoying one that used to haunt me when being forced to enjoy watching football (soccer) with my dad: ALL video replays had the exact same audio on it. It really used to grate on me as it was really obvious once you had got used to it, but my dad could never hear it.

Just a little anecdotal evidence of my experience on this fascinating subject. Perception, attention and information are very interesting facets of psychology!
