Any sound that came from the Mother Brain in Super Metroid. Still chases the courage out of me when I look it up these days.
Hehehe you mean this one!?Astoria said:

Creepy ass noise! Scared me shitless half the time
Amensia: The Dark Descent, just about every sound in the game but especially the sound that plays when you look at a monster.
I like how some of its cries remind me of the harsh, screeching stringed instruments in the first two games' action sequence songs(which were also very creepy, especially in 2). It's nice to feel a connect between this new, alien Bioshock and its predecessors.HDi said:
Usually, all I need to hear is light tapping during a silent scene and it's enough to make me scream and run away in terror.
The sound of the cockroaches when your sanity is low freaks me out a bit. I'm taking a break from it right now for that exact reason. Also I don't know if it's a sanity effect or scripted, but so far enemies only seem to exist for a little while while the camera's all wobbly and when I try to tail them Penumbra-style they aren't there anymore. Maybe I'm not that far yet. Regardless, the hint system keeps telling me to evade monsters when I'm not even around any. Are they trying to worry me, do they know I played Penumbra and in that game tutorials always appeared right before disasters?tombman888 said:
The scream from the scary maze game. If you don't know what it is, just google it. You'll see soon enough. WARNING: Do not play if scared easily or still can't sleep years after seeing the exorcist.
Funny story actually. Me and my friend knew about one of the sripted events where the monster walks down a hallway then dissapears. So, we blocked the door he was supposed to walk down with tons of chairs, drawers, etc. Then, when made the scripted event happen, The monster was stuck trying to get through the blocked door... and we laughed...Nieroshai said:
And then he stopped, turned, and started running towards us, upon which we screamed the fuck out loud. Then when he was 2 inches away from our face, he disappeared......
Creeper noise used to bother me, but by sheer repitition (as long as I'm not too close to the agonisingly fragile walls of my base) I'm not all that bothered by it any more.
What DOES bother me is the roar of a nearby big cat when I've got the mo' creatures mod installed. The buggers don't make much noise and do an astonishing amount of damage- a tiger once spawned on my roof and came down the stairs to wreck my shit. I had a full suit of (admittedly a bit dilapidated) iron armour and full health- three hits and I was toast. My spawn point had moved to the bed so when I respawned I was still in the room with the bloody tiger only now I'm unarmed and in my pants. The furry bastard killed me another two times before I eventually punched it to death. That was one frantic minute of gameplay.
The following day an ogre turned up having tracked me halfway across the map after I killed his mate and tore the wall off my house. Their growl is starting to trigger some primal responses as well.

Silent Hill "music". It's mostly just a bunch of sounds anyway, so may drums and voices and intense wave tones!
Unidentified clicking sounds in Resident Evil 2. Actually, the scariest part of Code Veronica was when you were standing above Nosforatu's chamber and he starts making that screaming, wailing sound from behind a gag, and the sound reverbs all through the area... pretty creepy.
The "!" sound when being caught in Metal Gear Solid (especially when you've actually been TRYING not to get caught.)
Also, not sure why, but the agonized screams and malicious laughter of the Uber-chainsaw manic from the final Mercenary stage in RE4 strikes me as a particularly scary noise.
