I absolutely hate the Wilhelm Scream in movies.
Yes, I get it, it's a joke.... a joke being told for the last 60 years.
It's not funny anymore, it hasn't been funny since at least Return of the Jedi.

Imagine if a comedian would tell the same damn joke for 60 years, would you still laugh at the joke or just at the comedian?
 
one time I accidentally reverse engineered that stock SHHHWWWWWSHHHHHSWWWWHSSSHHH churning noise like from before a mobile suit blows up
it's a misthreaded reel-to-reel dragging the tape with a bit of a feedback echo by playing the sound from the mic mixed with the output of said r2r of that signal

These types of sounds were used a lot in Flash and Channel Awesome style videos.

I once tried watching a German movie that was dubbed in English. The voice acting was tolerable, but what pulled me out of it was the poor sound choice in a couple light action scenes. A guy gets wrestled to the ground, but the sound effects sounded weak and fake. They had completely muted everything when dubbing, likely because there weren't separate mics/tracks for audio vs dialogue (unlike anime, cartoons, or high production films). At this point, I'd rather just watch a sub version.

Also, here are some fart sounds because we have the sense of humor of six-year-olds.

 
Rocko's Modern Life has the best sound effects of any cartoon ever.

I swear, the sound effects alone from that cartoon have still impacted me to this day. I still screech to a halt whenever I run, for example.

Don't underestimate the power of sound.

This is one of my favorite videos on the fact, from another film I love where sound played a huge role:
