Gday all,

I love exploring the wilds, seeing new places, plumbing far valleys and peaking tall mountains.

And I love the sounds of the wilds - those animal sounds and distant bird calls - that remind me of earlier exploration in older times and strange places - such as, say ...

Qeynos Hills.

Yes, that's right - there is a characteristic sound in Qeynos (a place in old EQ1) - a slow triple bird call, vaguely like a crow perhaps -
caw ... caw ... caw ....

A very distinct sound.

And now, as I explore Mirkwood I hear the SAME SOUND, apparently - the very same slow triple caw.

Finally,
just watching "Life after People" and there was some scene of the derelict future Houston dome or somesuch - and sure enough - the SAME sound!


Qeynos - Mirkwood - Houston after people - the same pesky crows !

"Hand me the .22 Max"



It sure sounds like the same sound bite has been used in each case - probably a stock audio effect.

(Does anyone hear deal with sound libraries? Perhaps someone who does has already noticed this, and may even know the sound specifically. There maybe two versions of this same sound - the other with higher pitch and slightly different.)

Just something funny people might have noticed :-)
