    Some sounds just become the thing they are supposed to represent. They aren’t used because there are no more sounds to be made. Two reasons.

    First. Directors won’t use a schnauzer as a guard dog in a movie, because they don’t portrait the intention of a guard dog on screen. For exactly the same reason you can’t use a gong as a laser sound, it doesn’t portrait a laser.

    Second. People have collected sounds and made them available. There are stock sounds, just like there are stock pictures.

    And so, certain sounds have become used for certain things. And the more they are used the more iconic they become. The Wilhelm scream, red tailed hawk, and many more.
