A laugh? Seriously? c'mon, they're not trying to keep people from seeing this movie now are they? That would be ridiculous if the monster laughed, who would want to see such a cheesy movie. Action packed or not, a monster that laughs, ooo scary.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agreed! an intelligent creature great! a laughing creature would make it too "simpson" like, & before I'm hog tied and boiled in oil! I love the simpsons but I want my monsters to be at least menacing! and at best Monstrous!!

it's a monstrous dog laughing.

Definatly laughter

Well, after playing it with the sound cranked up with Prologic then Dolby turned on, it's definitely *not* a dog. You hear the dog after the roar, then you hear the "laugh." I am not saying it's a laugh per se (i.e. the monster thinks ripping the head off a statue is a hoot). But it's a sound the monster is making imo.

Had my wife listen to it without any coaching, just asked what that sounded like after the roar. She said "a dog bark, then a deep laugh."

So eh.. take it for what you will. I wouldn't put it past them to have added it as a Christmas joke (monster going Ho ho ho). But I think it's supposed to be the monster at any rate. There is no way that this is the dog. I hear the dog.. and then I hear the laugh, they are unrelated.

I did play in stereo, stereo 2x, quad as well.. you can hear, but nearly as well as with dolby, and prologic was the clearest.

Yup, it's the new "It's Alive," no "It's a Lion" debate.

But in that one I knew it was "It's Alive" from the get go. "It's a Lion" always seemed childish to me and aggravated me to no end.

But with this one, I just can't make up my mind. When I first heard it, it sounded like a deep, evil laugh. That was my first impression. But when the idea of a dog barking was put in my head, it sounds exactly like a dog barking.

Frustrating. I like the idea of a monster laughing at us. Just don't know if this is the case here.

Do you also notice there's no "coo-koo" sound when the head of the SOL hits the building?

I have a high-end sound set-up on my computer...and I cannot stress this enough: IT'S A DOG!

I'm not sure what's worse...people thinking that the creature is laughing or the people wanting the creature to be laughing.

The only ones laughing here are JJ Abrams and Co...the same laugh they had when the "It's a lion, it's huge" morons came out of the woodwork.

[Anteros]

Nope. Definitely don't hear anything after the "dog barking."

It's either a dog barking or the monster laughing. Can't hear both.

I think the sound is the tanker being capsized (though I am not all that good at identifying sounds) and the explosion is definently the tanker also. I am 90% sure you all know that, but if they are as close to the explosion as that then it would not be surprising that they could hear the tanker capsize.

[Marauder2001]

Yeah, it's one sound, which might be a dog, or something, but the laught is deeper in the soundmix...

I'd love to have someone isolate the sound and speed it up, i suspect they slowed it down to get it deeper and more menacing.
