Are sounds trademarked?

I am almost positive they are, and if so, this site had better be careful:

After seeing the demo, I heard the "Jeopardy" theme and many sounds from the Super Mario games. Makes me wonder if they are paying for the use of thes sounds.

Some sounds can be trademarked if they distinctly identify a good or service. Tunes are subject to copyright. The MGM lion's roar and the THX intro sound are trademarked.

...

Yes, they appear (at first impression) to have violated the copyright to the Jeopardy theme.

I've ripped a couple of big ones I wish I could have patented... Maybe the looks on others...
