What was that noise?

Quick question. I want this really old sound effect/jingle from this really old game. Is there such a thing as a copy written noise or sound effect?

Yes. Sound effects can be a big business. The other day I heard a creaking door effect in a movie, that had previously been used in a popular video game. I'm sure it came from the same effects library. Those things can be expensive.

You may need to create a similar, but wholly original sound effect on your own. Or check around for royalty-free sound effects. There might even be someone around here with their own foley studio who could help you out.
