I Kinda Like The Sound Effects for Proton Volley Sniper
It's definitely the most unique sniper move out there. I can't think of anywhere else in the game where you can find that sound effect, and you fire four projectiles, where as others are usually just one or a sustained beam (as in Fire Blast's Blazing Bolt).
I, too, really enjoy the sfx of Proton Volley.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
It makes me think of the He-Man intro - if you pay attention to the Man at Arms blaster sound effects...
He-Man intro No sense in hiring a foley artist when there is so many sweet public domain sound effects like that.

I found out about Proton Volley back when you could only get that set on defenders. I liked that sfx too, it always brought back good memories of watching Star Trek with my Dad.
It was also my first defender to 50. The fact that he was also Kin/ had no impact on how he flew to 50 after I heard that sfx. :P
all i think of with proton volley is Star Trek also... "Photon Torpedoes Away!" lol

Out of my 15 toons, this is my fourth or fifth Blaster, I can't remember exactly? Anyways, I ended up rolling a now level 26 Rad/Dev Blaster. Unlike my level 50 enrgy/enrgy Blaster with her Sniper Blast, I was pleasantly surprised when I first heard the sound effects for Proton Volley. It kinda reminded me of Star Trek (older versions) and the sound I think they made when they fired their canon or pulses of laser beam balls out from the front of the ship. I'm not so sure it made the same exact sound? It also reminded me of when they were making the first Star Wars movie and in order to get the sound effects for the light swords clashing around, I think they had a recording of someone hitting a power pole support wire from the ground to give it that twangy echoing effect.
I just thought this was interesting being that when someone fires their Proton Volley Snipe, I think everyone in the group will know it has been fired as this sound effect doesn't seem to get "washed" out with all the other sound effects taking place being that it is much more unique kinda like the Kinetic Melee sound effects which I have on my level 50 kin/shield Scrapper.
