An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

In media, when something - usually a plane, but it can be something else - is diving, crashing or otherwise swooping, a gradually-rising mechanical scream that climaxes in a shrieking crescendo is often applied as a sound effect. This Stock Sound Effect originates from a siren (named Jericho-Trompete, or "Jericho Trumpet"), which was fitted to German Ju-87 "Stuka" dive-bombers in the Second World War as a psychological terror weapon designed to inflict panic on enemy ground forces. At some point, somebody decided that this would make a great sound-effect. See also Bomb Whistle. Examples

At some point, somebody decided that this would make a great sound-effect. A staple of Second World War films, it is by no means restricted to them and can be used in conjunction with anything from a crashing civilian airliner to a wheelchair rolling down a slope at high speed.
