What is that sound effect in the House M.D theme music?
(lemmy.world)
I know about Teardrop. I'm talking about the European version, the third one in the linked video - and specifically about one effect they're using in it.
Honestly it just sounds like they are using a LOT of reverb on it to me.
guitar string harmonic run through a ring modulator, delay and EQ.

It sounds like a dial tone to me, with a lot of fuzz. Could be a pager, as doctors used to use them a lot.
Sounds like a buzz and a sine wave mixed and lots of reverb. It reminds me of a flute. The truth is that a lot of these sounds are usually synthesized, it is the signature style of Massive Attack. As a result it shares a lot of similarities with the kind of simple analog sound makers used in hospital equipment. It doesn't sound sampled to me, at least, but I could be wrong, it has a lots of things layered on top to say for sure. If anything, it reminds me of the stereotypical code blue alert used in drama shows. Though I have never encountered such a thing in real life, usually those things are communicated verbally without any sort of alarm. Hospitals actually avoid alarming or excitedly modes of operation, preferring calm and collected action.
Sounds like a string or piano, with a lot of effects/manipulations.
