    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Much like the infamous Wilhelm Scream, this snippet of police radio chatter has appeared in countless films, television shows, and video games. Spoken by a woman, the line "(unintelligible) 5, Code 6, 105 North Avenue 52" is instantly recognizable, creating a "once you hear it, you can't UN-hear it" effect. A simple stock sound effect, it is typically used for atmospheric reasons, or to provide incidental background chatter on police radios.The unintelligible phrase at the beginning has been variously interpreted as:

    • 78 point 5
    • 7, 8, 5
    • Liberty 285

    The sound effect can be heard here:
