Most dreaded sounds in gaming.

[noble cookie]

Resident Evil 4 on Proffesional....

*sound of chainsaw*

*Leon turns around*

HOLY MOTHERFUIADBSOIHBOIASDFIUBDS....

 

[Gabanuka]

I had nightmares with that music in when I was younger.

 

[thingymuwatsit]

The witch's cry, anyone.
dear god, I hate Lewis, I know he is a VI, but I hate him.

 

[The Giggling Pin]

Thats bloody grinding noises that xboxs make when some guy decides to be clever and move it while its got a disk in it! The noise makes me hurt inside!

 

[Aquilla]

Agreeing completely with the Sonic drowning music, horrible, just horrible.

 

[Calico93]

In Farcry 2 when an engine revs up so it can run you over
Shits me up every time as i dont see it the majority of the time.

 

[DazBurger]

I must say, playing Gears of War 1 on insane, hearing a deep voice saying "BOOM!".

 

[imnot]

I'm sure most of you will agree with this:


and pretty much everytime you hear this:
(EDIT: Ok, I finally changed them, thanks)

i'm normally dead about 20 seconds into it

 

[Oh That Dude]

Either those rooftop zombies in HL2, or the poisonous headcrabs. They remind me of spiders so much, they freak me the fuck out.

Fuck those things to hell, seriously.

Also: TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING, IT'S OVER!

Bu-WEEP
Bu-WEEP
Bu-WEEP
Bu-WEEP

*everyone leaves*.

And claymores:

Round a corner

*click* FUCK MY LIIIIIIII-
*boom*

*I leave*.

 

[Acidoctor]

Sound you make when you land a jump in Morrowind.

 

[imnot]

The Cliff Racer's screech.

oh god i hate those things. got chased by about 10 of them once.

 

[TheMonkeySlayer]

So yeah, The MGS alert sound is definitely the first thing that comes to mind.

 

[Chomajig]

The juggernaut drum sound from the MW2 spec ops on a boat. The only tactic we had against them (2 player) was for one person to lurk with a sniper and for the other to be the bait. The bait had to run right up to where the juggernauts spawned and try to get them to follow. As you can't really predict when they spawned apart from the drum, it basically just meant
"SHIT RUN"

 

[Brandon237]

Hearing the clink of a grenade drop and not seeing it for 2 seconds in any CoD, oh... Shi- *bang*

You were killed by a grenade. Watch out for the grenade indicator.

Expletive here, Expletive here, Expletive here...

 

[Wicky_42]

The wonderful grating of a hard-drive ripping its own guts out

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.

Er, sorry to burst your bubble but I don't think it is. The Wilhelm scream is that really annoying crappy one that sound guys seem to bum:

Here's the HL2 fast zombie one, being analysed a bit:

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

ahem:

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

from the Serious Sam Games....

When you hear it, you are almost always in trouble big time!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

If you have played this game you shall feel the pain of this music..

 

[CheesusCrust]

SCRAAAAAAAAAPE!, Pyramid head is here to RAAAAAAAPE!

 

[The Hero Killer]

The noise that the computer virus makes on Mass Effect 2's Project Overlord DLC. Its so grating to my ears.
