The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the movie Distant Drums. It has been featured in dozens of movies since. Alongside a certain recording of the cry of the Red-tailed Hawk, the "Universal telephone ring" [1] and "castle thunder," it is probably one of the most well-known cinematic sound clichés.
It’s also used in video games and television shows.
I had no idea this was so prevalent.
Here is a video that shows clips of just some of it’s uses. Once you hear it, you realize it’s the same sound effect.
