The sound comes from the original Tomb Raider games released in the late 1990s, where Lara Croft screamed during long falls that ended a run. Players heard it repeatedly while learning the platforming sections, so it became burned into gaming memory alongside later death sounds like the Roblox oof. Clips of the games and remixes spread the scream to forums, videos and soundboards, and its instant cut off keeps it useful as a shorthand for a fall gone wrong.
O tym dźwięku
The Tomb Raider falling scream is Lara Croft's short scream from the classic games, used for fail moments, falls and sudden drops in video edits.
This is the very brief falling scream Lara Croft makes in the classic Tomb Raider games when she drops from a height and the fall turns fatal. It is a sharp, high pitched female scream that cuts off almost as soon as it starts, with no echo or landing sound attached. Because it is so short and so recognisable, it lands less like horror and more like instant comedy. The scream tells the viewer a character has messed up, lost their footing, and is already gone before anyone can react.
