The Image of the Boulder Rolling in Raiders of the Lost Ark
This is a Skywalker Sound sound effect that was recorded by Ben Burtt for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) using road noise generated by his then-new Honda Civic station wagon. Burtt and crew coasted down a gravel road on a steep hill without the engine running, allowing the car to accelerate naturally.
