History Main / StukaScream

* The televised ad for the UsefulNotes/XBox from 2002 with a woman in labor who pushed out her baby with such force that the infant goes flying out the window and over the countryside, [[RapidAging aging rapidly]] as he goes. Within thirty seconds, he's at retirement age, at which he plummets to Earth with a Stuka Scream to slam into a cemetery grave.

* Israel's Harop kamikaze drone makes a similar sound as it dives on targets.

* Perhaps the closest modern equivalent to the Jericho Trumpet is the distinctive '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvIJvPj_pjE BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!]]''' of the A-10 Thunderbolt II's truly ''[[{{BFG}} massive]]'' GAU-8 Avenger autocannon mounted to the plane, which has gone on to become an example of [[LoudOfWar sonic warfare]] in its own right, despite being just a side effect to the gun's awesome power. Depending on which side you're on, it can either be a SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound (as attested to by the numerous videos of the plane and its gun in action being accompanied by American infantry reacting in joy upon hearing it in the distance) or absolute terror, but one thing's for sure; ''if you heard it, that means it wasn't aimed at you'', and if you're on the side the plane's flying against, then ''soon, it will be.''

* The middle eight of ''[[Music/SecretTreaties ME262]] by the Music/BlueOysterCult features marching jackboots, the crump of exploding bombs -- and the StukaScream.

* [[https://youtu.be/IBUKiKvl29Q P-51 Mustangs can make the same sound as the Corsair]], but as a result of air moving through the gunports due to their shape and position on the wing.

* Outside of Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation, at least up until TheNineties, the most common Stuka Scream sound was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHj2Sq1FUTw this one]], available on Creator/HannaBarbera's sound effects library and most likely rooted from Creator/{{Universal}}.

At some point, somebody in the film industry decided that this would make a great sound-effect for ''any diving aircraft''. While it has become a staple of World War II films (whether they feature the aircraft or not), it is by no means restricted to them and can be used in conjunction with anything from a crashing civilian airliner to [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow a wheelchair rolling down a slope at high speed]].

In media, when something -- usually a plane, but it can be something else -- is diving, crashing or otherwise swooping, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObJV_PITRjA a gradually-rising mechanical scream]] that climaxes in a distinctive shrieking sound is often applied as a sound effect. This StockSoundEffect originates from a siren (named ''Jericho-Trompete'', or [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Jericho Trumpet"]]), which was fitted to [[UsefulNotes/NazisWithGnarlyWeapons German]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_87 Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka" dive-bombers]] used during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII (and the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar) as a [[LoudOfWar psychological terror weapon]] designed to inflict panic on enemy ground forces.
