This sound effect can be found on The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas.

Basic Info

  • First recorded: Early 1990's
  • Creator: Sound Ideas
  • Owner: Sound Ideas (1992-present)
  • Origin: United States and Canada
  • Year debut: January 6, 1993
  • First heard: Blinky Bill and the Red Car (a The Adventures of Blinky Bill episode)
  • Area used: Worldwide (especially in the United States and Canada)

This sound effect was first recorded between early 1990 and April 1992 because The General Series 6000 Sound Effects Library was in the making at that time. It was voiced by either a baby or an older child.

So far, first debuting in the episode "Blinky and the Red Car" from the 1993 Australian TV Show "The Adventures of Blinky Bill" on January 6, 1993, it's typically referred to as the "Baby Kate Cry", due to it frequently being used for, and commonly associated with, the character Baby Kate Read on Arthur.

The Series 6000 version of this crybaby sound is more popular than the Dimension and The International versions, so it has been used in more than a thousand pieces of media, especially Arthur.
