Twister sound designers heavily edited the angry moans of a camel to create the terrifying, monstrous roar of the devastating tornado that violently rips through the climax of the film. Whenever you watch the spectacular computer-generated destruction of a midwestern town and feel the sheer terrifying power of nature's wrath, you are basically just listening to a grumpy desert mammal complaining about its life. They took a goofy, spitting ungulate with humps and massively slowed down its vocal cords to make gullible audiences believe they were experiencing a catastrophic weather event. It completely ruins the dramatic tension of Helen Hunt desperately clinging to a water pipe when you realize the raging vortex above her head is simply the pitched-down sound of a camel aggressively refusing to stand up
