Similar Sound Effects used in Star Wars and Indy...

OK, it seems that sound effects guy Ben Burtt does the sound for all
the Lucasfilm Productions. He seems to have his special touch
everytime, first he puts in the canned scream (discussed by Short
Round all the time) which are rampant in all the Star Wars, Indiana
Jones, and the Young Indy's. Also, I think I discovered another
little Ben Burtt trademark recently. It seems almost everytime there
is an explosion in these movies, you can hear in the background this
distinctive sound. YOu can hear it best in these situations: first in
Star Wars: A New Hope, in the shootout between Luke, Han, and Chewie
in the cell bay (trying to rescue Leia) when they shoot off those
security cameras you can hear that sound I'm talking about layered in
with the actual explosion. The next situation, comes in Young Indiana
Jones: Tales of Innocence, in the scene after they find out the
Italian girl both of them are chasing after is getting married to
someone else (Alfredo, hilarious! :) Indy and Ernest Hemmingway are
bickering while German planes are bombing the village and Indy and
Hemmingway are acting totally oblivious to the bombing. When one of
the bombs hits this wall and all this bricks and stone hit everyone,
you can hear the same sound layered within this particular explosion.
Has anyone noticed this before?


Oh, and one more thing. Does anyone know of anymore of those canned
screams that can be heard in any non-Lucasfilm movies? (I know of that
same scream heard in The Wild Bunch)
