Pointless Question #56

Congratulations on your purchase of the HyperCorp Antimatter Lasgun 9000. Would you like to download a custom intimidating activation tone?

(My answer: The sound of the Ghostbusters' proton packs charging up.)

Nah.

I might go for the windows startup noise, myself, or possibly something more absurd... Like, I want those who would oppose me to cower and grovel before all dogs, or something.

This kind of reminds me of that bit of Star Wars minutiae that Darth Vader had a knob to adjust how quickly the blade came out of his lightsaber in order to make it more intimidating.

Anyway, I like MWChase's idea, but I think I'd go with that old ubiquitous electronic toy gun 8-sound loop.

I'd go with the tinny toy "Pop Goes the Weasel" sound like you'd hear from a wind-up Jack-in-the-Box.

C'mon, it's gotta be the sound of engaging primary ignition on the Death Star... Or The THX Sound.

I think an almost-subaudible hum would be pretty cool.

This wasn't a contest, but I think Chris Doggett wins.
