Stock sound effect

A stock sound effect is a prerecorded sound effect intended to be reused with an entertainment product, as opposed to creating a new and unique sound effect. It is intended to work within a sound effect library.

The oft-used Wilhelm scream; ~by WikiWorld; is a prime example of stock sound effect usage and can be found in over a hundred media productions since 1953
