OK perhaps not many people know about the following website, but it is truly an outstanding resource for when you need sound FX. It is called http://www.sounddogs.com.

Do a keyword search for "teletype".

It is really neither. It is a "movie logic" sound like spaceships in starwars saying "whooosh" when they fly by. In movies computers always write slowly across the screen, and make sounds when they do so :-)

In Hunt for red October it is sort of a high pitched beeping sound that comes with each letter.

I can't remember the exact sound in Red October, but a common sound used in movies is radioteletype.

Is this the sound?

Go back to sound dogs, a couple of the soundbytes in the conputer section under computer telemetry readout, down towards the bottom, sound really close.

These ones on "Findsounds" may be useful if you loop/edit them a bit.

Kevin,

I've been looking for that same sound forever...I can't believe it's so hard to find since so many movies use it now. Practically every military or sci-fi flick that has text printed across the screen uses it.

I'll let you know if I find it...
