The angry birds soundboard is led by a theme tune that a very large number of people can hum without ever having chosen to learn it. That's the whole appeal, and it's why this board behaves less like a game board and more like a nostalgia one.
The Theme Everyone Can Hum
The theme leads by a clear margin, with the laugh close behind it and a bass-boosted cut of the theme not far after. That ordering is telling. Most of what gets played is the same piece of music treated differently, which means people are coming for one specific tune rather than browsing the game's audio.
Past those, the board opens out into slingshot sounds, the UFO effect and a set of short flight clips, all of which sit comfortably alongside the plain sound effects buttons even if you've never played.
From Phone Game to Nostalgia Audio
Angry Birds arrived at the beginning of the smartphone era and became one of the first games a general audience played on a phone rather than a console. Its audio reached people who had no interest in games at all, which is not true of anything else on the gaming soundboard. That reach is the reason the theme is recognised so widely, and it's why the clips here get played by people who would struggle to name a single character.
Why It Still Gets Played
Nostalgia audio works on a delay. A sound has to be gone long enough to feel like a marker of a period rather than just an old file, and this one has crossed that line. It gets used the way the Samsung boot chimes on the Samsung soundboard get used, as a reference to a moment in phone history rather than to a product.
What Happened to the Sound Design
The original audio was written for tiny phone speakers, so it's bright, mid-heavy and almost entirely free of low end. That's why the bass-boosted version exists and why it sounds so strange: there's very little bass in the source to boost, so the treatment mostly adds distortion. Later entries in the series were mixed for better hardware and, for exactly that reason, none of them show up here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Angry Birds theme so recognisable?
Because the game reached people who did not otherwise play games. It arrived at the start of the smartphone era and became one of the first titles a general audience installed on a phone, so its audio spread far beyond the usual gaming audience.
What is the Angry Birds laugh?
The short mocking laugh the pigs make, which is among the busiest clips here. It works as a general-purpose taunt because it carries no dialogue and needs no knowledge of the game to read correctly.
Why does the bass-boosted version sound distorted?
Because the original was mixed for small phone speakers and has almost no low end to amplify. Boosting it mostly adds distortion rather than weight, which makes this one of the few boards where the boosted cut is genuinely a different effect.
