Nydus worm popping out of the ground can be rather dreadful too. Since you can hear it no matter if you see it or not so even if he just connects his bases you think there's an army inbound.
Not that many people use 'em though so guess it's not as dreaded as a nuke atm.

Lot's of stuff.
The tank's theme.
The clicking of a claymore on CoD4/MW2.
The spring noise a betty makes on CoD:WaW
The sound of a grenade hitting the floor in any game that has grenades.
The howl of a cougar in Red Dead Redemption.
Stuff like that.
Also, for me personally, I'm really coming to dread the snapping sounds the boy from LIMBO makes on death. Normally I wouldn't be, but when you're trying not to die more than five times... Well, suffice it to say that's a pretty scary sound.

Tank music from L4D/2
i'm just walking along then all of a sudden...
DUM,DADADUMMM,DUM,DADADUMM...then i go "OH SHIT!!!" and run like hell, spraying bullets at it in hopes that it's drops dead before it gets to me.

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!
And to various other people quoting this. The sound is called "The Wilhelm Scream"
It's in the nutri-grain add
Also that sound, spider sounds and Re-deads/Gibdos.
Here's the HL2 fast zombie one, being analysed a bit:
My bad its the "ironman scream"
I hate you for reminding me about that.9NineBreaker9 said:
But anyone who's played Metal Gear Solid... any of them... should say the ! because not only is it a sharp and startling sound, it means you've got to deal with whatever guard saw you. It's especially bad when you're trying to sneak away and it's completely silent.
That sound used to fucking TERRIFY me as a kid. Especially since I was usually taking the linking book to the fucking mechanical age, the only book I knew how to access.
The rogue stealth/stun sound effects in WoW tend to make me freeze up, since that's what my character is doing.
Also, I know it's not from a game, but since the main source of the SFX for me was the disc for Theme Park, I'll add it. The sound effect that used to indicate a hardware failure on a mac used to make me feel sick. I have LITERALLY hate nightmares about the icon that comes up. When I heard it at the age of 14 for the first time since I was 7, I froze, my heart sank and my entire body went into "OH GOD I'M GOING TO DIE" mode.
If anyone can link my to that sound effect I'd appretiate it; can't find it myself.

The little "Crack! Thhhhhhhhttt..... ...Whfump." of a sniper bullet being fired from a distance at you in BFBC2. And killing you.
the sound when a fast zombie in hl2 is climbing a pipe it's like this "clang" "clang" "clang" for about half a minute then there's the tank theme it's creeps me out so much when i hear it
because getting close to brutish enemies in shooters and hack and shlash games

It's been said a few times already but the moment I opened this thread the first that popped to mind was the "low health" beep in Pokemon. Dreaded because it's irritating, not dreaded for the right reasons.
Dreaded for the right reasons, the Spider Splicers in Bioshock before I'd gotten used to them. They made that creepy "metal scraping" sound and had pervy laughs, but of course the most unnerving part was they weren't easy to locate since they'd jump all over the place (especially when you first encounter them, less so later on in the game). In saying that, encountering most things in that game for the first time was creepy. I remember the rumbles of the Big Daddy the first time I came across them and walking silently and fearfully until I'd gotten used to how they behaved.
