Question I am wondering what actually is the "doink, doink" sound? How is is made? Is it instruments or other materials?
Answer It's actually a synthesized collection of multiple sounds. As far as I know, Mike Post (who does the music for the series) was behind the sound itself. It's meant to imitate the clanging of a door being shut, as in a jail cell, though frankly I don't think that's what most people think of!
