This sound was added to Doom2D Forever 20 years ago to indicate the highest level of damage to the player. It is recorded in 11025 Hz 8-bit mono and seems to be interpolated, suggesting it was recorded directly from the game itself. Unfortunately, none of us remember the exact origin anymore. But the sound format itself suggests that it is from some old game and recorded from DOSBox.

Maybe someone could remember it and give us a hint?

my English is broken beyond any repair, and I'm really sorry for that.

Isn't that what the sound is when you hit a grunt shotgun or chaingun guy with a chainsaw in Doom 2, but without the chainsaw.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Nope.

Unfortunately, both are wrong. Moreover, The Thing have its files plain available and its sounds in .ogg format, so I doubt there would be a need to rip them with output recording.
And I checked Alien vs Predator using Fastfile Explorer from here: https://sites.google.com/site/avpclassic2000/ … p-editing-tools.
Although I agree, there were quite similar sounds.
