That one Sound in Blade Runner 2048 and other memorable Sound-Cues

I knew what it was based on the thread title alone. It's weird that it's in both the soundtrack as well as the basic effects mix of the film itself.
Also I live on a party street where I regularly hear motorcycles revving on Saturday nights so the sound itself is very familiar to me.

I love those drums, you knew shit was going down.
One of my favorites is still the horns from the War of the World Tripods. It's so haunting, terrifying, the sound of the end of the world.
Oh lord this scene (or scenes, rather). Chills, man.
Why can't movies be good like this? :(
Watching Blade Runner 2049 in the Dolby Cinema and it opening with this was an insane experience. It was essentially like being engulfed by a wave of sound:
Nothing has come close since.

Because movies like this seemingly aren't watched by enough people :/
BR2049 underperfoming was such a crime
It really, really was.
But, there has been enough of a critic response and just general sustained word of mouth that I think more movies like this aren't off the list. They all can't make Marvel movies, so they have to try different shit. Let's hope I'm right.
Well, this is all assuming the industry survives corona without any MAJOR changes to what movies even are.
Edit:
And that closeup of her face. So close. Too close even, too close for comfort. And the framing is a bit off. Such a contrast to the previous scene with out of focus faces and far shots; as well as the unstable shots of K. Perfectly conveys that feeling of waking up and someone is watching you close and you can't really gauge the distance or grasp the situation/intent.
this reminded me that i really do love that beam charge sound effect in this movie too. @:15
trailer uses that sound effect multiple times between :50 and 1:20 and at the very end too. made me want to watch the movie. lol.
Absolutely loved your choice. 3 or 4 came to my mind immediately, but i'm absolutely posting my choice without any hesitation. It's gotta be Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior when he reengages the supercharger at 1:20
The first time I heard this i was floored, finally I hear something that feels truly alien (and looks obviously).
Brings me right back. Shit was nuts. You immediately felt you were in for something special and the curtain had barely lifted.
I think they were trying to find a sound effect to use for the bikes breaking through the wire fences but definitely wasn't the right one lol
The two Prowler chases and "What's Up Danger" are just amazing uses of music in film. They get me hyped every time I watch Spiderverse.
This post needs more attention. Absolutely great sound (and scary).
I posted it as well so it at least gets double the attention. ;P
that sounded nothing like Godzilla though. more like the T-Rex from JP.
first that came to mind.
Star Wars has so many iconic sound effects.
Late to the thread, but the silenced shotgun sound in No Country for Old Men is absolutely iconic.

I love all these sounds.
And my biggest gripe with the new films. The sound design sucks!!

Funny enough that Inception trailer music wasn't composed by Hans Zimmer, it was done by Zack Hemsey so technically it was his "bwaaaah" sound that became famous since the move itself uses a different one.

Bladerunner 2049 was an amazing cinema experience. I was absolutely transfixed at multiple points like Joi in the rain, the tests, the sex scene, the end fight at the seawall, tears in the snowfall, etc.
Just an amazing combo of visuals and sound.
Which is also why I love Annihilation, that 4 note alien sound gives me chills every time. The visuals and sound combines into an amazing experience. I loved seeing the ecology of the shimmer, it was so familiar and yet exotic with this beautiful rainbow glow permeating the air.
