The Most Underrated Game Show Sound Effect

Another possibility. The "tacky buzzer" indicating time's up on Marshall's nighttime HS.

Another one: I love the reverberating sound made when someone freezes a window in Bullseye. Would love to know how composers and sound editors came up with some of the SFX.

I'll double up on this, and add the sound of the windows swirling.

I may be weird, but I was really disappointed when Bullseye moved to Television City because CBS couldn't quite duplicate the bells NBC had on hand for right answers or player control.

Anybody remember back in the 80s or 90s when the Charlotte Hornets used to play a bee-swarming sound effect at their home games?  You could hear it on the TV telecasts on occasion.  Everytime I heard it, I always thought of the Bullseye swirls.

If we can qualify "underrated" to "underrated in the United States", the Sale Of The Century buzzer. This is such an iconic sound to Australians that when Temptation was on its way back, they had an ad campaign revolving around the buzzer. The show ran quite a while here and I don't think anyone really thought twice about it but it really is a pretty defining sound.
