Yes it’s old, I know.
In this opening theme, that deeply unsettling fuzzy vibrato tone.
I’m sure it’s copying some kind of hospital sound effect, like an old-tech intercom tone or a warning buzzer, but I just cannot fucking place it. I know I know this sound.
It’s driving me nuts. Can someone please tell me what it is? Bonus points if you can link to a recording.

Sounds like a flute combined with a lot of EQ, leaving only the mids. This is accompanied with the occasional string pluck of what seems like a guitar. Same EQ, which makes the two instruments blend together in an etherial kind of way.
As a tangent, I watched all of House from start to finish when each episode was released by EZTV. As a result, I only ever heard the american intro despite being European. I didn’t even know other intro songs existed until now. I guess they didn’t have international distribution rights to Teardrop.

Hello, I am now confused. Can someone link me the song being discussed because I think I only know the US opening?

OP linked it in his post. It cuts right to the song in question.
