Definitely; a guy in my outfit played certain sounds from PS1 on Teamspeak to see who could recognize them. Jackhammer, MCG, Lasher, Starfire, ScatMAX, Guass Rifle, Cycler, on down the line of recognizability and it isn't until you get to some of the VS weaps that people started screwing up and confusing Pulsar with a Quasar.
The only sound I would consider a recognizable key in PS2 is the clomping NC MAX foot sound; you can hear those things from a mile away.
