[Brazilianpeanutwar]

Regenerators -ehuuuurghhhh-

Daw dow daw dow da dada.....(mass effect game over music haha)

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL -

 

[Diet Chaos]

Undoubtedly, the sound of a Berserker's shriek from Gears of War. Honestly, just hearing that enraged scream, followed by what can only be described as a freight train of hard, angry flesh and bone...

Plus, the sound of a horde's cry in Left 4 Dead. That just tells you that things are about to get bad.

 

[Energylegzz]

youtube=p3h8ZnXLsRg No idea if that will work but just in case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3h8ZnXLsRg Those bastards killed me So many time in the last mission, on the hardest difficulty.

 

[Continuity]

The sound of a jammed storm bolter in space hulk, rapidly followed by lots of calls of "incoming on 6", "incoming on 4" etc followed by static and gameover.

[Tharwen]

At the moment, the sound of a building starting to collapse in Bad Company 2.

*Grooooooooaan*
FUCKFUCKFUCKGETOUTGETOUTGETOUT

L33TFRAGGER654 <Destruction 2.0> [ESC] Tharwen

...

Are you still there? From those damn turrets in Portal.

I see you

 

[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!

 

[Carrotslayer]

"Construct additional pylons!"

Simply horrifying...

 

[Adventurer2626]

1. My computer restarting itself -_- Crashes FTL
2. "Warning nuclear missile launch detected" Or the equivalent
3. "Unit lost" Losing one unit usually isn't a big deal but I don't like being wasteful of my units plus it's more the issue of dreading which unit was lot. A foot soldier? Usually not a big deal. Your biggest tank/expensive unit/MCV: big deal.

This too:

OT:The sound of a pokémon in the red health zone. Not because it means I'm about to lose, but because it's really, really annoying.

 

[Disaster Button]

The low health alarm in Pokemon which absolutely will not stop.

Or the hiss of spiders in Minecraft, or the SSSSSS of the Creepers as they sneak up on you at night.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Reika wasn't the ghost that scarred me the most, but her theme was crazy and it was when the music suddenly cut that you knew Reika was about to fuck you up.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

My computer going "BEEP!" when it's battery is running low.

that, and the "you've been dominated" sound in TF2

 

[Kuchinawa212]

*click click click* when you still see guys and your heavy assult rifle just ran out.

 

[Volothos]

Would that whole "Master of unlocking" thing count?

 

[Ziggy the wolf]

every other time, rapid claws on the ground getting closer
the one that makes me punch people is playing with an asshole when you hear a witch crying cause you know someone is going to die and it isnt the asshole who startles her

 

[Theron Julius]

Every single grunt and hiss of a Menial in Resistance: Fall of Man. Just walking through a corridor and you hear them hiss at you. You turn around and there are a dozen of them creeping towards you and one is already close enough to lunge. The bastard grabs and fills the screen, gnawing on your face.

Somebody needs to kill that fucking fairy...

 

[zehydra]

In minecraft, the sound of the hissing before the creepers explode.
