About this sound

Henry J. Waternoose banging angrily on a door from Monsters, Inc., a loud, threatening knock used in edits and memes for a furious boss or villain arriving.

This clip captures Henry J. Waternoose, the stern chief executive of Monsters, Incorporated, pounding furiously on a door in a moment of anger and desperation. The sound is dominated by heavy, repeated thuds against wood, sharp and insistent, with the force of someone demanding to be let in right now. There is no dialogue to soften it, just the raw impact of fists hitting a barrier, which makes the scene feel tense, urgent and slightly intimidating. Played on its own, it instantly suggests a powerful figure losing patience, a confrontation about to start, or a threat building just out of sight.

Pro tip

Drop the bang as a character reaches a locked door or a boss appears on screen, then cut to the reaction inside. Keep the volume high for impact, but do not loop it for more than a few seconds or the joke turns into noise.

How people use it
