Warner Bros. was known for having familiar classic sound effects in their work, mainly used until the coming-to-age, though some newer common sounds are included here as well. Many of these sound effects were developed by Leon Schlesinger, whose voice can be faintly recognized for many of the vocal effects listed below. This is a list of such distinctive sounds that are used more than once in Warner Bros. media.
Those sounds were also used in non-Warner films and TV Shows.
