!940s-era "Japanese" male crowd yelling. (Doesn't seem to be any real language.) Some single yells.
These are high-quality copies of Hollywood original optical and mag effects from the 1930s through the '60s, transferred to full-track tape by USC Cinema. I have digitized them for preservation, but they have not all been restored and may have some noise.

Thanks for the info, Black Boe.
There’s an old Sherlock Holmes story that takes place in a hotel, where there’s a murder. Several people of different nationalities say they heard the murderer, and each reported with certainty that it was a different language than their own. Always a language they did not speak. Holmes realized that none of them knew what language it was, and in fact it was....
You'll have to find it for yourself. No spoilers here!

Hello again!
By the way I love that you're uploading these sounds. What a fantastic reference to the past, and a source of really interesting atmospheres!
Anyway, about the recording:
Huh, interesting. I think that's Korean, or it's people making 'foreign noises' who have heard Koreans before and are trying to mimic the sound. I can't tell which one for sure because I don't speak Korean, myself, but that's definitely not Japanese.
