Hi, this has probably noticed before by many a keen Star Trek fan (such as myself) or just by the keen observer, but the standard background sound for FPSC and FPSC X10 is the same background sound as in Star Trek The Next Generation.

Listen to the background noise from this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggtw2VPYO4I&feature=related

and compare with an FPSC level that you could make in 3 seconds.

I noticed this when I first got it back around last June, but never posted about it till now.

Thoughts, comments?

Thanks.

Similar yes, but not the same.
Just a standard air pressure relief valve.

And who is to say it wasn't on "Red Dwarf" before Star Trek The Next Generation existed?

Very true.

But I didn't mean the hissing. I meant the beaping from the computers in the background.

Listen to this video of an FPSC level some one made (SwissKGB has uploaded it but other than that I don't know who's it is, sorry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBqBBAXcROo&feature=related

And compare the faint background noise to the noise when Picard is on the Bridge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggtw2VPYO4I&feature=related

Most of those sounds are similar in alot of movies/games whatever. Same goes with comedy shows, sometimes you hear the exact same applause in 2-3 different shows.

Core Map 2 is released, Free edition and Commercial Edition available at the following link

I guess they are stock sound clips, sorta like stock shots.
A beep is a beep is a beep.
Just because I put three beeps together, I can claim exclusive rights to a triple beep?
lol

Sound files would be like music, public domain.
Nobody has a copyright on a C note or a beep.

Again, I think people get carried away with copyrights.

It would have to be unique and somewhat complex to make any claim to it (like a composition), which this sound is too simple to ever claim that.
Unless it had a person's voice or something else in the background that would distinguish it from other recordings, then I doubt they have a claim.
Again, two different sounds that sound the same because they are so simple...a triple beep.

Yeah, each studio has a library of stock sound clips and stock shots for their producers to pull from.
I'm sure there was a triple beep somewhere at that network before it was used in Star Trek The Next Generation.
Just like TGC provides us with stock media in FPSC (like the clip in question), and that is why you will now hear that sound in most FPSC games.
Will anyone think that someone else ripped that sound from my game, since theirs came after?
No, because we all know that it is a stock sound that is available to any FPSC developer.
Thanks for the media TGC, because I know that these sounds are legitimate.

I totally agree, stock is stock and there is a lot of it our there, good thing to.

I have heard the same applause from 'studio audiences' across several different shows.
