Those sound effects are really weird but they must have a proven psychological effect because they get used all the time. I can understand the siren because it gives an impression that something dramatic is about to happen even if it's only £5 knocked off the price (come on you can do better than that :wink
, but there's a wibbly wobbly sound that implies something similar as well. The bell means that a train is about to cross the studio at high speed, flattening James Russell in the process, well I can only wish for that to happen :grin:

In your dreams PP :mysmilie_510:
They used to have the claxon, as years ago it meant there was going to be a 'price plunge' where the price would 'plunge' dramatically, then the train noise used to be used when they had a clearance, so they used it to indicate a clearance price, and now they have at least 2 others too. I think they just use random ones, and the producer decides what sound to use dependent on their mood. They use them even if the price only goes down by like 5p....
I bet they'll be classy lol! A bit like the wine cases P Simon tried, in vain mainly as only a few sold as I recall, to flog a few weeks back. He did the usual random shouting out of highest end names in the business "Cristal" "Dom Peringnon" then unveiled their plonk. Wirral saw the same stuff on a website for a few quid cheaper per bottle of their champers.
Get some ear plugs Tristar is my advice, trust me they help lol :wink:

Board now for a "Jolly Roger".
Last one to buy has to go down with the captain.

Here's the "Carrie Lindsay".
I think she's a bit heavy in the water.

Ha Ha, hysterical. No ballast in the world could buoy the Carrie Lyndsay. Is that noise her breaking wind?
