    Quoted from iloveplywood:

    That horrid "fake knocker" sound is an abomination. Especially having come from owning a TAF where the knocker was integrated so awesomely in a mode. I seriously thought machines were breaking the first few times I heard that noise on location. Could they have come up with a worse noise if they tried?

    I really don't understand why Stern does not use a better sound for the fake knocker. I mean you could produce a callout or play a recorded sound of a real knocker. You could even customize the sound depending on theme for each game. Instead you have a god awful screech sound that anyone that does not know what it is turns in horror wondering what just died.
