Are you like me, and have you ever wondered what are the sounds, yes sounds, that make up Law & Order’s iconic dun-dun? Well, thanks to Jeopardy we know now.
During Final Jeopardy, Ken Jennings asked the contestants, “Mike Post combined the sound of a slamming jail door, an anvil & 100 men stomping on the floor for this series that debuted in 1990.”
While, I knew the answer was Law & Order, I didn’t know all of that was used to create just two notes. Did you?
Now, we know why the dun-dun is so powerful; so many sounds of force went into it.
