Apparently the employee responsible for the SS sounds was none other than John ‘voice crack’ Romero himself.

6:34 - 6:37 Fun fact: the creator of the stock sound effect for the door opening in doom is Mike McDonough. "Mike created it for his radio show «Bradbury 13» - a sci-fi series aired between 1983 and 1984. «In one episode, the crew lands on a planet. So I needed the sound of a futuristic rocket ship hatch opening when these guys walk out.» "Mike still remembers exactly how he designed that door effect. At the time, he was working as the head of the sound department at Brigham Young University in Utah. «Back at the campus they had this old generator. It was a three-phase generator, a really old one. I was walking by once and heard it starting up. It made this incredible wheeeee sound.» So he grabbed his Nagra recorder and asked the janitor to switch the generator on and off for him. He then played the recording backwards. That was the first element. «For the other one, I put a BB in a balloon and blew the balloon up. And when you spin the balloon, it goes wheee, wheee.» Another piece of the puzzle was an engine noise. «We had a CD player, and when the tray came out, it made a really unique sound. So I opened it up and put the microphone in so it would touch some of the metal parts, so the sound would be amplified directly into the microphone.» The last element was created with the help of a truck the radio studio owned. «The hiss from the truck’s hydraulics made a nice little pssshhht. I think that’s how I made it.». - Philipp Rüegg www.digitec.ch/en/page/really-i-had-no-idea-the-doom-sound-designer-talks-about-his-unexpected-legacy-15781

EDIT: After I wrote my comment, I found out that a few years ago, members of the Doomworld forums talked to Bobby Prince and he said that it wasn't Elmer Fudd, but a mix of animal sounds. But if you play the sound at 3x speed, it sounds like him saying "quiet."

@BonJoviStatue A: FYI, Elmer Fudd saying "Quiet" from which short? "Rabbit Fire" (1951) B: "Bobby Prince and he said that it wasn't Elmer Fudd, but a mix of animal sounds" Answer: Mancubus' Wake-up is the Jaguar Growling/Snarls and Attack sound is the Pig Squeal are both from Sound Ideas 6000 CD (I'm not sure about the origins of the Monster's death sound, though). Mr. Prince's reply can demonstrate that "Elmer's quiet was not used", didn't demonstrate it to my ears' satisfaction (even though I have absolute pitch [non-musican]), I think we could perhaps ask the judges (with AP or sharpened ears) for their opinion on that I'm not a sound designer, so I'm not qualifed to declare on it. If Bobby wants to dispute Elmer's "Quiet", fine, it an unknown mix of animal sounds then. For me personally (Including), it sounds like Elmer's "quiet" from (I repeat), "Rabbit Fire" (1951) [when I slow down the short (Pitch and Speed) to 33%] P.S. "Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice." [Whether it's the right answer or not. (or merely roll the dice, in general)]

[@RogueOmega]

Honestly, if I had to make a guess for the Cacodemon's "Spotted a player" sound, I'd say maybe a slowed-down cat hiss played alongside a slowed-down rattlesnake rattle? Because while I can easily hear the hissing, I swear I can also hear a bit of a rattle of sorts in there as well.

[@zorilla0]

From the first time I heard it in 1994, I just assumed it was butter in a frying pan and always referred to it as that.

[@Razorblade1812]

I certainly do know the origin of the Mancubus Pain sound: It is Elmer Fudd saying quiet, but at a slow speed. This was also used for the Octabrain in Duke Nukem 3D as I saw a video of the origins of the sound effects used in Duke Nukem 3D by Revenant Evil.

You can hear a lot of these in Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Heretic, Hexen, etc.

[@The_Mister_E]

Sound Ideas has pretty much been the go to library for high production since the late seventies, with their 1000 and 2000 series libraries giving them enough money and clout to buy the rights to in-house libraries from companies that were usually very hard to find/persuade (Warner, Turner, LucasArts, Disney, Hanna Barbera, Jay Ward, and 20th Century Fox) in the 90s. As such, they became the best source for sound effects new and old alongside their old rival called "The Hollywood Edge". Pretty much if you couldn't find a specific sound effect in the Sound Ideas catalogue, then it definitely came from The Hollywood Edge. (Or Valentino but they were more a 60s company who were adamant about keeping their rights, so as such they didn't get nearly as much business as SI and HE. But that's beside the point.) Eventually, Sound Ideas prove superior and The Hollywood Edge went bankrupt around 2014. Now, Sound Ideas is pretty much the king of sound effects you swear you've heard before. At this point, if they somehow don't have the sound effect you're looking for then it's probably one they missed during their rights buying days of the 90s. Maybe the big ass cassette it was recorded on got lost underneath the piles of cassettes and reels that were once labeled before the glue got old and fell off.

DSSLOP seems to be a very edited version of Sound Ideas 6000, CD 6018, Track 85-1 ("Horror - Chewing on Bone, Human"). I was never quite able to piece it together correctly, though. In an old article that I can't find off the top of my head about how Doom 2's sounds were produced, Bobby mentioned the Arch-Vile's sight sound is supposed to be laughter. When I was in high school I had a sound effects CD in media class that had the DSSWTCHX sound on it as part of a much longer noise, but sadly that was many hard drives ago. I recall it also being the sound of either a washing machine or dryer's on-switch. Maybe a dishwasher?
