There is an electricity sound clip that I hear in many places, including model Sci-Fi when something is arcing. Always puts me in mind of the AfterDark screensaver with the monkey powered clock, which used that sample when it would electrocute the chimp when it slowed down.
I don't think I've heard it in there. Though there is another common one from games that also makes its way into films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0dD_TACPx0#t=5m51 is one of the ones I'm thinking of.
