When an in-universe problem with sound effects is Played for Laughs with the characters taking notice of the error, you've got a Sound Defect. Contrast Wacky Sound Effect for "wrong" sound effects not noticed by the characters and Special Effect Failure, which happens when the sound effect goes unintentionally wrong, regardless of the amusement factor of said error. Also contrast Unsound Effect, which uses something that isn't really a sound at all. Broken Echo is a Sister Trope, where it's a voice that's wrong instead of a sound effect. |

Ranma ½: The fanfic Genma's Daughter: The Cutting Room Floor has a running gag about this near the end. The characters are actually all actors shooting a series, and Mousse accidentally keeps playing the wrong sound effects for the scene they're doing. | |

Achille Talon: In one comic, a Mafia henchman has a strange illness that causes every sound he makes to be rendered as a completely unrelated onomatopoeia (like whacking someone on the head with a huge "gulp" or ramming a car into a wall with a "TA-DI-DA-DI-TUUUUUUUT" sound, for instance), and his boss regularly complains about it (this is a comic where Medium Awareness is a common occurrence for its characters). The henchman is overjoyed at the end of the story to discover that he's cured when the manacles he's handcuffed with make a correct "click" sound. | |

Are You Being Served?: The staff of Grace Brothers are performing a radio play. Captain Peacock's character arrives at a pub and asks for a pint. The sound effect of the pint being poured is created by a jug of water being poured into a bowl from a significant height, and sounds more like somebody urinating. Miss Brahms, playing the barmaid, says "I bet you were dying for that". | |

Whose Line Is It Anyway? had this as a recurring game, called "Sound Effects", where they'd pull volunteers from the audience to make sound effects for a scene acted out by two of the comedians. Hilarity Ensues. In the most memorable incident, Drew Carey is reduced to tears by an inappropriately Foleyed elephant. | |

Teen Titans Go!: One episode sees all of the world's sounds stolen by an unexpectedly cutesy villain. Inexplicably, the Titans are able to create new sounds for the lost ones by mimicking the lost sound enough times, causing the new (often poorly made) sound to take over for the stolen one. The Titans recognize that the results aren't perfect (every incidence of a new sound is exactly alike with zero variation), but accept it anyway, at least until they can get Earth's noises back where they belong (with a few other sound placement hiccups along the way, which they point out). | |

Garfield: In a gag, the doorbell only goes "Ding—". When Garfield opens the door, there's a technician from Ed's Dong Repair. Garfield kicks Odie off the table with a "BLAGOONGA!" sound. He remarks on the unusual noise, then goes and tells Jon that "Odie needs tuning". Garfield gets hit with a shoe that goes "SPLUT!" when it hits him. He looks off-panel and says "Shoes don't go 'splut'!", after which a pie hits him in the face with a SPLUT! sound effect. Jon is pouring milk into cereal telling Garfield that it makes sounds when milk is added. The cereal makes the sound of a Klaxon. |

The Carol Burnett Show: In a "Mama's Family" sketch, Tim Conway started ad-libbing about Siamese circus elephants that were joined at the trunk. He went to make the trumpeting sound they made, and it came out sounding something like, "fnork!"... which sent the rest of the cast into hysterics. There were several times during the soap-opera spoof "As the Stomach Turns" when the doorbell or phone wouldn't ring until after Carol's character would say something to the effect of "I'll get it" or "I wonder who that could be." |

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Two rounds have been based on this. In "Bedtime Story", the teams have to tell a story with random sound effects being added in, and then have to make the story fit the effects. In "Human Voicebox" one team tells a story and the other has to add appropriate sound effects using only their voices, but the first team is deliberately misleading them as to what effects would be appropriate. | |

Garfield and Friends had a whole episode about this, called "Sound Judgment." The show's sound effects guy quits and Garfield has Odie fill in for him. Every sound effect for the rest of the episode is completely random and inappropriate, down to every footstep being a different random sound. The sole exception being the herd of elephants near the end, which Garfield mistakes for Odie's incompetence at doing sound effects. | |

At one point Hawkeye says, "...and it's in there for a strike!" and an unthinking B.J. taps the wooden bat he's holding.

Get Smart: In the episode "Moonlighting Becomes You", 99 goes undercover at a radio station that is secretly communicating messages to KAOS agents, and as the plot thickens, Max is sent undercover as the sound effects man for a dramatic series. True to form, he does an absolutely terrible job, getting almost every sound effect wrong and forcing the episode's writer and narrator, Hannibal Day (Victor Buono), to improvise as best he can as his patience wears ever thinner. It starts with Max knocking on a prop door at the cue for a doorbell, followed by ringing the doorbell when Hannibal switches to saying there was a knocking at the door, and things go downhill from there. | |

When Daffy throws down the guitar in disgust, there's a gunshot and the braying of a donkey. When Daffy tries to protest, sounds of a rooster, a kookaburra, and a kitten come out. | |
