On an outtake for one of the sounds we did here in Toronto (either French horn or bass clarinet), a fire truck drove right through the middle of the note. For some reason Martin didn't use it. It would have been pretty funny. 

There's also a cacked attack on the trumpet sound's top note. That's pretty funny. I can just hear the poor musician saying, "That's it! I'm not trying another." It is a G above high C (trumpet transposition) to be honest.
