Worst sound to hear in a game?

[Zombie_Fish]

The re-dead in Wind Waker, especialy because whenever you meet one they seem to have their own mini-movie dedicated to them.

 

[madman485]

the static on the little radio in silent hill. at the same time it was annoying but it made my stomach tighten like nothing else

 

[SmilingKitsune]

"Hero, your health is low. Watch that."

You all know this is true!

Oh god the memories! Why didn't that damn seal come with a mute button?

 

[jebussaves88]

The dudes with no heads and bombs for hands who somehow scream as they run at you. Brilliant!

 

[coldfrog]

That creepy fake talking created in Animal Crossing they made by just having the characters speak each letter in rapid succession. Occasionally the words will sound like the words they are, but some twisted notion of the word from some demon dimension, and other times it will just be a cacophony of chaotic noise burning your eardrums out from the inside... It makes some sort of disturbing cognitive dissonance where you know what you're hearing but it comes so fast that it sounds like something else altogether and you just sit down and cry for an hour until the UFO comes.

The dudes with no heads and bombs for hands who somehow scream as they run at you. Brilliant!

Is that the guys from Serious Sam? That game is hilarious.

 

[Kyouran]

The dreadful cry of pain Ecco the Dolphin makes when he's hurt sounds almost like banshee.

Oh god, now I say this. Though it did accomplish its purpose, short of electrocuting your fingers, to tell you "STOP GETTING HIT DUMBASS"...

 

[rhaiiatthedisco]

Ocarina of Time. "Hey, listen!" It's not annoying at first, but after a while it is.

that had to be the most annoying thing about LoZ.
an otherwise amazing game.

 

[AtlasShrugged]

The sound the Dragon's Tooth in Deus Ex makes when it hits ANYTHING. The worst part is that it's the best melee weapon in the game, so you've got to settle for weaker weapons or GO INSANE. Or guns. Guns are cool too.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

How about the last 0.5 seconds of audio looping continuously while the screen is frozen?

Even better when it's someone swearing. And then your little sister walks into the room and hears "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck" coming from the computer.

 

[prinxess]

The witches crying in Left4Dead is okay but when she gets angry, before you actually disturb her, her grunting and growling is so annoying.

 

[tiltedhalo]

For me its got to be the chainsaw revving sound from Resident Evil 4. The bastard would pop up out of no where in a group of his buddies and gank you with one shot. Damn that was frustrating.

 

[xXzykoXx]

"Not enough cash!" Merchant Resi4

 

[Banana Phone]

The crit sound in TF2 when there's nobody around, because it means you just got backstabbed.

And of course "Nuclear launch detected"

Aaaah, the good old days of Rise of Nations.

 

[LockHeart]

Either 'You must gather your party before venturing forth', repeated over and over and over in Baldur's Gate 1, no matter how fast your characters are moving, or the sort of pre-explosion the Redeemer makes when it hits in UT1.

 

[sage42]

the repeated growls, moans, cries, and coughs of the special infected in left4dead

 

[Sandag]

Hearing the rogue die in Diablo 1.

 

[beastwood225]

CoD WaW; the little "whumph" of a bouncing betty just before a hole is blasted into your torso. not only this, but going down the same corridor and hitting another 3 feet further down from the orginal.

 

[AkJay]

people having sex... worst sound to hear, especially if the voice acting is terrible in the serious parts of a game.

 

[Plauged1]

Chainsaw.

If you hear that, it means you are SCREWED!

Edit: Damn, posted before. I got something else. The sound of a Torque bow arrow penetrating one of your unfortunate teammates. Because you KNOW you're next.

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

"Welcome To Potomac Attire" - The Black dude selling clothes in River City. Fallout 3

It's really annoying because he doesn't say anything else and the fashion of how he says it just gets in your head,
and I guess it's the only Intro Conversation I remember from all of the people from the game.

So that's a good thing..?

Oh my god yes.
