Most dreaded sounds in gaming.

[not_the_dm]

"Strategic launch detected." *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*

When your strategic defense silo is only at 62% construction. Or less...

[Lem0nade Inlay]

The dreaded series of chords that accompany a hunter/smoker/boomer/witch in Left 4 Dead.
And the "mmmblughh" of a boomer

Also:
"TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING!!! IT'S OVER!!"

 

[Withall]

The heavies from Darkest of Days. Their mini-guns sounds like the GAU-8 Avenger. EXACTLY like them. I suppose the sound their weapons make sounds somewhat like a top-level predator that once hunted us back in the day, somewhere.

Or maybe it's just me anticipating a hot lead perforation within a few seconds that makes me go "ohshitIdontwannadie", and makes me scared.

 

[captaincabbage]

Mario's invincibility star song, for the goombas that has to be the most dreaded sound in the world XD

 

[Deadman Walkin]

That magical buzz your computer makes as it freezes because it can't handle that awesome game you are playing Kills me a bit inside every time

 

[yossarian787]

"There you are."
-The cutest, deadliest turret ever, from portal


"Nu-nu-nuclear launch detected."
-starcraft or starcraft 2, right before you lose your base.

 

[CptShiv]

"ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!!!"

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

I don't know why but the hiss of the Cacodemon from Doom always freezes my blood.

 

[rosac]

The sound of a chainsaw starting up in RE4, quickly followed by this:

Meh shi-

gamenoises of leons head leaving his body in an extremely gory manner.)

 

[nightangel346]

The bloodsucker roar in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

 

[IxionIndustries]

*Tink tink tinktinktinktink*

Awww shiiiiiii-

[shadowmaster1000]

The sound of the warning noise of a blue shell in mario kart wii. So many lost races *twitch*

 

[cahtush]

avp beeb... beep... beep..beepbeepBEEP!

 

[Billska]

*click click click click click click click*
While being dragged by a massive tentacle in dead space.

 

[hazabaza1]

"Shepard-we caught a break. I intercepted a distress call from a turian patrol."
NO! I am on insanity! You cannot do that TIM! YOU CANNOT.

 

[Vhite]

Unstealthing and dismounting sound in WoW. Both because of PvP.

 

[The Black Vegetable]

A certain scientist in Half life 1, making comments about "how dark it was", just after a headcrab jumped to his head. That was...disturbing at least.


Also, in the Doom 3 game, for me the most dreaded sound was...well, no sound at all. As soon as everything became silent, and the walls were clean for a change, I just knew something was going to happen. And everytime I was right. Helldog suddenly charging at me, zombies everywhere, you name it. But the worst moment was definitely being in a big room, having killed everything in it, relaxing, cleaning my weapons, opening a door I just noticed, and immediately being attacked by a fat guy with a chainsaw.
