I'm so glad I found this article/ video. If there is one thing I remember from my childhood it was waking up and watching the classic cartoons with my family and laughing at the ridiculous sound effects that would be played. I might even say that it is this exact thing that peaked my interest in sound in the first place. I find it very interesting to hear a sound that may not have anything to do with an object and now after the years of hearing it I almost think of these obscure sounds rather than the real sounds that things make. Most notably the sound of a person falling is definitely a slide whistle.
