Scariest sounds in games

[Torrasque]

Every RTS feeling hates this sound...

"Warning: Nuclear Launch Detected"

Oh... balls...

Even worse than that is multiples.
"Nucl-N-Nuclear Launch De-Nuclear Launch Detected"
._.

I always found the midwives much more frightening however.

What the fuck ._.
This sounds absolutely horrifying...

L4D

the witch crying
need I explain

Hey, come on now! The witch's cry in Left 4 Dead. That sound always got to me.

Yes, this is definitely going on the list. Don't know why I didn't think of it, especially after playing expert a few times.

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..."

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

Pretty much every noise from Amnesia. EVERY THING IS TRYING TO KILL YOU.

Another game that really takes the cake is System Shock 2. The annelids always creeped the shit out of me. I could never explain it.

 

[Spooks Inc]

How has nobody said Barons of Hell from the first Doom? Whenever you heard that you knew you were going to die.

 

[Yeager942]

"welcome to the Twisted Treeline"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
the horror the horror....

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*You have been slain.*
*Your ally has been slain*
*Your ally has been slain*

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.

 

[Optiluiz]

Pyramid head dragging the Great Knife around. (shivers)

 

[Harry Mason]

Any sound in Condemned, Criminal Origins. Utterly terrifying and beautiful sound design.

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

I'm not really sure why, but the music when you enter one of ratmans dens in the original portal really unsettles me.

 

[Krong]

Spoiler: This

These spazzes from VTMB. I hate the sound they make when they lunge at you.

 

[marginal]

6 pages and no this? Odd.

Spoiler: video here

I also agree with most others on here.

 

[remnant_phoenix]

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*

 

[dannipulsa]

The spiders and creepers in MinecraSssssssss

 

[Yoshemo]

This always freaked me out

 

[DaMan1500]

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.

 

[Gluzzbung]

The little bell in FO:NV Dead Money

 

[Robin-chan]

The sound of an approaching Mole Rat in Fallout 3 when you don't have the "Animal Friend" perk

THEY COME AT YOU FROM OUT OF NOWHERE

Lots of noises in Fallout 3 scare me, though. Because I'm a wimp.

 

[imnot]

This always freaked me out

Whoah I dont remember the screams of the dammed being in HL2!

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

The radio in silent hill. Absolutely.
the tune in the haunted manor mission in vampire the masquerade bloodlines.LOve that level but that tune creeps the hell out of me.

 

[DaBozz]

Bioshock 1: The sound of the heavy footsteps of a big daddy, And Minecraft: The sound of a creeper. D:

 

[duktapeman90]

Being over six pages in, I'm sure someone's already said this, but the Regenerators from Resi 4. Seriously, those things scared the shit outta me.
