First time hearing this count down in over 15 years. Still gives me chills.

When I was little my dad would watch 24 after I went to bed. Sometimes I’d stay up playing with toys or whatever and I’d hear THIS sound. Without knowing what it was, this sound cemented itself in my little mind. It took me YEARS to figure out where it was from

"The following takes place between eight AM and nine AM."

[bielaggs]

I remember this show being so popular, it's been completely forgotten

[knttzfficial]

This sound invoked a strong feeling of unease in me as a child.

I dont watch this show but I just hear this in the other room.

[TRADEMAN]

I remember the time when me and my father watched this series and this is the thing I always hear and see

You as a 3rd grader waiting for the last day of school to finish watching the clock.

Now I know where this stress inducing sound comes from. 😅 It came on tv while my sister and I were playing with our Barbies and I thought it meant that the world was ending and we only had 24 hours left to live. 😂 I lost my shit and grabbed her as I started crying, telling her to hide in the closet in my room and not come out until I made sure everything outside was safe and nothing was gonna blow up. Ah, the mistake of watching Terminator 2 as a 5 year old. 😅

That last minute of trying to get to work on time after getting a write up for being late.

People, particularly males, of a certain age range are pre-sensitized to finding this sound stressful. That is because you've probably played the game 'silent hill', but various aspects show up all over the place in similar contexts.

If that means something to you, remain calm, don't panic and proceed in an orderly fashion to the exits.

[LFPman]

I’ve been trying to find this for weeks.





I also remember my dad watching this when I was young

Anyone else resisting the urge to keep pausing at 4 second intervals to mimick the commercial break spots?

[HMU]
