Safe Fall Sound Effect

321SPONGEBOLT • 25 August 2024 • User blog:321SPONGEBOLT

So, there's this short fall sound effect I've heard in select episodes of "SpongeBob SquarePants", but that's not the only place I heard this sound effect. I could be wrong on some of these, but here's a list of media I know that has that tame fall sound I had described. I'll update this blog post later when I know what pictures go along with what I'm asking for.

If anyone knows what sound this is, send me the link to the page. Or send me the link to the sound file containing said fall sound. If you visit the Sounds Resources website, you'll find a variation of said fall sound I was looking for in the sound files for "Rayman 2: The Great Escape" under the name, "Bombfal.wav". This is under the section, "ray2_sfx/Sound Effects".
