Scariest sounds in games

The screaming of the headcrab zombies in the Half-Life games.
When it's played backward, it's even worse--you can hear them screaming for help and begging for the pain to stop.

Or any other of the random sounds of crying, lockers slamming, things falling in the walls, etc.Seriphina said:
Silent Hill's fame is largely due to the amazing music and terrifying sound effects, to which no other game series anybody here can mention can ever hold a candle. But it's just not on the radar of these fanbois.
Mine would have to be the noises in the Mansion of Madness in Timesplitters Future Perfect. Having a door lock itself in front of you, then hearing a perfectly time child's giggle and some deep whispers is very disconcerting.
It's also where the goddamn L4D witch cry came from.

Even worse than that is multiples.NameIsRobertPaulson said:

This sounds absolutely horrifying...
That sound was always the worst when you play with really good headphones, and you can hear it from 4 rooms away. You freeze up and say to yourself "fuck... I'm going to have to deal with that... ugh..."Vidi Kitty said:
OP: I'm going to add the zombies from Conkers Bad Fur day, because when I first played it when I was 11, I was walking up that path to the vampire/zombie level, and you just hear 'brains... MUUUUUUUDDD' in a super high-pitched shrill voice that sounds like the Smoker.
Also to a lesser extent: the moan of the ReDead from OoT. That sound used to frighten the hell out of me... then I discovered the Sun Song
How has nobody said Barons of Hell from the first Doom? Whenever you heard that you knew you were going to die.
Anyone remember the GET OUT voice from donkey kong 64? That always freeked me out when I was a kid.
Today it's any moster in minecraft. Thank notch for peaceful mode.

I'm not really sure why, but the music when you enter one of ratmans dens in the original portal really unsettles me.
At least a handful of noises in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
The one that first comes to mind is the phone ringing, answering it, hearing your dead grandfather say, "Remember me Alex?" in a raspy voice, then the line goes dead...
*shudders as he re-lives that memory*

Those fuckers with swords for limbs in The Suffering. You always hear their arms scraping across the walls and floor before you actually see them, which admittedly isn't that great a strategy when the guy you're stalking has guns, but it's still freaky as shit.
