The Last of Us Clickers
As explained by Derrick Espino, a sound designer for PlayStation “The original TLOU clicker “click” and “screech” sound took months to find. While recording actors, Misty Lee gave us the iconic screech. I then mixed in Phillip Kovats’s voice and my own mouth noise. Then Neil Druckmann and I tweaked the timing to his taste.”
