Expanding the list of songs featuring the sound?[edit]

The current list of modern songs that feature the sound is a run-on sentence. Can we make it into a bulleted list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.107.223 (talk) 23:13, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"three oscillators"[edit]

Isn't it a bit strange to say that the hoover sound is created using three oscillators AND that it is typically created on the Juno 2? As far as I'm aware the Juno 2 had only one oscillator and a sub-oscillator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.238.174.79 (talk) 11:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/ajuno2.php . The Alpha Juno 2 does seem to be the originating synth (the "What the" preset has the right sound), so this statement can't be right. Flies 1 (talk) 18:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reese/Reece[edit]

"Originally called the "Mentasm" or "Reese"" - Isn't the Reese a different sound, also popular? It's more of a growling, bassy sound with its cut-off fading in and out. Often used in Drum & Bass. 83.77.206.244 (talk) 07:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actual name vs. "Hoover"[edit]

I seem to remember that the "Hoover" name was a criticism of the sound ("it just sounds like a Hoover") by people uninvolved in the scene. The "Hoover" name is not the actual name of the sound and this should be reflected in the article DJ Barney (talk) 11:44, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you ask 99% of people who enjoy hardcore, trance or hard house what the sound was they'd say it was called "the hoover" there's even big tunes like "hoovers and horns" named after it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.199.53 (talk) 11:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No hardcore?![edit]

In the list of the types of music that commonly use the hoover it correctly mentions hard house and trance but leaves out hardcore which probably publicised it more than any other genre (the Prodigy back at the time of Charly was the very definition of a hardcore producer). But it includes gabber in its place that has really has never risen above a pretty minor form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.199.53 (talk) 11:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
