Or Doom.. I remember very clearly the intro to Modern Marvels on the History Channel uses the Doom door opening noise.

I guess they used the same SFX library or something?

The library used by Doom is REALLY common. The sound DSBOSPIT (sound of boss demon spitting a telecube in Doom 2) in particular is so overused it's not even funny. You hear it everywhere: in budget movies when a house or plane explodes, sometimes in other video games.

I hear the Protoss building creation sound used a lot as well!
