The wonderful grating of a hard-drive ripping its own guts out :D

Oh, in-game? Probably HL2 fast Zombie howl. The critters might drop to a double shotgun blast to the face, but their howl puts me on edge. Nothing much else comes close - kudos to that sound engineer!

1. My computer restarting itself -_- Crashes FTL
2. "Warning nuclear missile launch detected" Or the equivalent
3. "Unit lost" Losing one unit usually isn't a big deal but I don't like being wasteful of my units plus it's more the issue of dreading which unit was lot. A foot soldier? Usually not a big deal. Your biggest tank/expensive unit/MCV: big deal.

This too:

OT:The sound of a pokémon in the red health zone. Not because it means I'm about to lose, but because it's really, really annoying.

The low health alarm in Pokemon which absolutely will not stop.

Or the hiss of spiders in Minecraft, or the SSSSSS of the Creepers as they sneak up on you at night.

Reika wasn't the ghost that scarred me the most, but her theme was crazy and it was when the music suddenly cut that you knew Reika was about to fuck you up.

every other time, rapid claws on the ground getting closer
the one that makes me punch people is playing with an asshole when you hear a witch crying cause you know someone is going to die and it isnt the asshole who startles her

Every single grunt and hiss of a Menial in Resistance: Fall of Man. Just walking through a corridor and you hear them hiss at you. You turn around and there are a dozen of them creeping towards you and one is already close enough to lunge. The bastard grabs and fills the screen, gnawing on your face.

Agree with the zombies in HL2 begging for help. Terrifying.
Agree with the beeping sound in zelda, when youre low on life. Annoying.
Agree with the enemy alert sound in MGS. Frustrating.
Agree with the deliciousness of cookies. Delicious.
Agree with the death music in Mario Bros. Aggrovating.
Agree with the turrets in Portal. Unsettling.

and for my personal addition:

"I sprung a leak!"

All of Sean's lines, especially his oneliners, in The Saboteur.

Not even a particularily good game, and the protagonist's lines STILL manage to be the worst part about the game. Everytime I hear "F*ckin' 'Ell!" or "Top of the morning to you. Or, whatever time it is." I die a little inside. Get a proper irishman to voice someone who's supposed to be a proper irishman.

The alarm or siren sound from the Marathon series was never fun to have to deal with.
