Scariest sounds in games

Without even reading the thread, I know I have the single scariest sound:
A Deathclaw breathing in Fallout 3. I specifically say Fallout 3 because of the cave, in which you could be unable to see one of the beasts, and only hear it's slow, granulated, deep breaths, knowing that in a few seconds it could rush and cut you down in one or two hits.
That, or just about anything from Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, because ALL those mobs kill you in one or two hits

I usually don't find games scary or creepy and if there is something creepy its usually faded after the first time I hear it.
Dead Space however has a few gems to it. While most the scares like necros popping in and out, safe rooms that aren't really safe and so on you can get use to. Their are just certain undoubtedly creepy moments though.
This only happens once if I remember correctly in the beginning your in a silent corridor with two fans going about in circles making a droning noise, for all but a few seconds you'll hear a skittering across the ceiling and a shadow will race across the lights shining through the rafters. The fact this only happens once and its not constant means if you catch it your expecting something to come out the walls or come up behind you, it never does but it adds a beautiful moment of tension.
Also the whole cult level is probably one of my most favorite moments in horror games since the entire thing puts you on a slight edge.
Since someone mentioned WoW bosses, personally I find the whispers of C'thun to be the creepiest ones every designed in WoW too bad noone and I mean noone ever does those levels anymore.

Oh crap, is that from the Cradle? I hate that level because it scares the hell out of me, and I love it for the same reason.Capt. Crankypants said:
Also; the sound a creeper in minecraft makes when it falls from a great height. Because then I know that 1: there is a damned creeper nearby, and 2: other ghoulies and ghosities are going to start flooding from the unlit area above.
Well, everything I had in mind has been answered, except for one.
An old school one for me, but it still tends to disturb me nowadays. The "music" that plays during the final battle of Earthbound (Mother 2). Not frightening, just...very, very disturbing. That's not even including the disturbing context of the battle itself. The music just takes it home.

The cry Lavos does during the bad ending of Chrono Trigger.

It sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear it.

The splicers creepy talk sent shivers down my spine in the original Bioshock.
Also, I hate to confess it.. but at the time when Doom 3 was released and you were walking down this dark corridor and suddenly you hear this woman behind you crying and saying something about that they took her baby away from her... Creeeepy...
