Comment: ALT1 is an attempt at a silly hook. 4/1 is probably already planned, though. :)
Not sure about the rules for captions, but I hear audio clips don't get a lot of engagement in DYK, so why not make it more clickworthy.

watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Overall: @
Rhododendrites: Both hooks look like they'll do well, although a few changes need to be made to ALT1 to make it read better. (alternative below) I think the caption is perfectly descriptive of the sound effect. Article does seem to lean a bit heavy on the quotes. Awaiting QPQ. :3

ALT1a ... that there is a name – BRAAAM – for the loud – *BRAAAM – low horn sound – BRAAAM – made popular by action film trailers?
@
Freedom4U: Thanks. No objections to ALT1a, although it may call for more wikilinks at the end. I made some follow-up edits to the article (see edit summaries if interested), and will get to the QPQ later today (and hopefully that other pending review :) ). — Rhododendritestalk \\ 15:44, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Rhododendrites: I feel like both "action movie film" and "horn" are simple everyday words that don't need to be linked. Changes to the article look good. :3

Freedom4U: QPQ done. Going to disagree about action films being a simple concept of the sort that doesn't need to be linked, but I don't mind deferring to whomever preps the hook, either. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 17:11, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
