I meant this sound from this Youtube short clip from Chewkz . I am not going to rewatch the whole LOTR and cut the clip and post it here...

I also dont know what the actual sound is called. Luckily this short shows that sound. There are many other videos but i just dont remember which.

Anyway, you can hear right at the end where the guy screams because he doesnt know how to take his Tesla down.

In LOTR movies, you hear this sound A LOT. Especially in big battle, a random Orc gets killed and screams like this. It happens in all 3 movies lol, so I wonder if this is a Peter Jackson thing ...

    It's a little joke among filmmakers and sound guys, and frankly, I think it needs to stop. It's a huge illusion break for an audience that's figured it out.

    Honestly don’t think I’ve spotted the wilhelm scream in new media for a while, it was fun for a bit but maybe we’re finally free.

    I'm not watching a short, but it sounds like you're talking about the Wilhelm scream. It comes from an older movie.

    Even the Steam Controller has an easter egg where it plays the Wilhelm scream randomly if you drop it.
