Aggressively annoying Twitter whistle sound ruins documentary
15 October 2023
I was very interested in this subject matter, but I don't know if I will be able to get through this. I'm 20 minutes in and I've stopped counting that high-pitched Twitter whistle sound that gets played with every Tweet shown on screen.

I don't know who made the choice to include these whistles, but it was a huge mistake. I'm thoroughly irritated now and bracing myself for the next whistle.

I've only ever seen one other example of this sound effect being used and it was in the (awful) movie Zola, which was based off on long Twitter thread from Reddit, rather than an actual script. It was as bad as it sounds.

In closing, this documentary is intolerably annoying due to the whistle sound effects that accompany every on screen image of a Tweet. You ruined your documentary.
