The Thu'um is actually spoken using the dragon language, as dragons naturally have the power to alter reality by simply speaking. When they're "breathing" fire, they're actually commanding fire to come into existence. It is actually said that battles between dragons are actually very loud, very deadly debates.

** As of ''Mists of Pandaria'', Warriors can pick a talent called "Dragon Roar", which on top of being a possible ShoutOut to Skyrim, deals fire damage to all nearby enemies.
** Warlocks also have Howl of Terror (causes fear), priests have Psychic Scream, but the name implies it to be a magical effect rather than actual noise.
** Some enemies and boss monsters have sound-based attacks too. Some cause fear or reduce stats like the one usable by players, but a few actually do damage. A notable mention goes to Murmur, who is apparently an elemental embodiment of sound. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation According to an ingame book, his voice can destroy worlds, but when the player fight him he's greatly weakened after a failed summoning attempt and can be defeated by 5 people.]]
* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' Shout skills are simply skills that have no cast time (and, indeed, can be used while you're casting or using another skill) and have an effective range of "earshot" (which is approximately aggro range). Their effects are generally damage modification (either increasing or decreasing it), but one shout, "You Move Like A Dwarf", actually damages, knocks down, and ''cripples'' whichever foe you have targeted when you use it.
** Similarly, ''VideoGame/TheLordOfTheRingsOnline'' has many, many damaging shouts.

And they can grant allies temporary buffs.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Condemned}}'' and its sequel, there's a whole cult with this ability. [[spoiler: You're one of them, and gain it for the last level of ''Condemned 2''.]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' and Shade Man had the sonic weapon "Noise Crush" in ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan7 7]]'', but that came from their ArmCannon.

** One variation of the Trumpy Virus produces a blast of music that, while it does not impair you in any way, will still prove an annoyance, by ''completely'' refilling a fellow mook's (or it's own) HP. As it is usually teamed up with viruses with sizable HP, as well has having a lot itself, [[ShootTheMedicFirst you WILL want to defeat it first.]]
* In a twist on this trope, the Street Jam psych from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is triggered when the player stimulates the DS' mic. It comprises of Neku summoning giant speakers that blast sound into every Noise in the current battle. A variant, the Twister psych, turns mic stimulation into gusts of wind that blow enemies up and then slam them down.

* The Sonic Boom weapon in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'', which uses audio waves from Crypto's FlyingSaucer to bring down buildings and send vehicles flying.
* In the ''{{Franchise/Godzilla}}'' games, Anguirus's only ranged attack is his roar.
* Cynder in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro: Dawn of the Dragon'' has one of these, officially called "Fear" in-game.

* KYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (Screen distorts) [[VideoGame/BioShock Mr B!]] [[MascotMook Mr B!]] [[DarkActionGirl Big Sister]] doesn't want you playing with me...
* In ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', Bowser does this [[spoiler: in the final battle]], but it doesn't do any damage, just pushes you back a little.
** Bowser Jr. uses sound waves as part of his super ability and mega strike in ''Mario Strikers Charged''.
* The StringyHairedGhostGirl enemy in ''TheHauntedMansion'' video game uses this attack.
* [[http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=1520 The Sjas]] in ''VideoGame/GhoulsVsHumans'' can attack with supersonic shouts (and even when he doesn't attack this way, he [[HellIsThatNoise screams bloody murder]] all the time.)
* Rikuo/Aulbath from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' has a special move called Sonic Wave, where he emits ultra-sonic waves to stun his opponents and that inflicts some damage on them.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' offers Sonic Attack and Sonic Resonance as powersets. The default animation for these powers are a range of screams and shouts. Oddly, while Sonic Attack damages targets and renders them vulnerable to more damage, Sonic Resonance includes a number of powers that make your allies tougher instead. All by making strange shrieking noises.
* One of the warrior's abilities in ''VideoGame/DragonAge: Origins'' is "War Cry". When upgraded it can knock enemies off their feet.
* Some minor enemies in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' games can use a vocal attack. Bats unleash sonic waves, Harpies let out a shriek, and [[spoiler: [[DemonicSpiders Scuttlers]] [[HellIsThatNoise bellow a bloodcurdling cry]]]]. These deal damage and sometimes prevent an action or even stun a character. Also, until ''Dark Dawn'', unleashed weapon techniques were narrated as "(character)'s (weapon) lets out a howl! [[CallingYourAttacks (technique name)]]!"
* In ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'', General Llyonwhite does this to a mirror falling on him. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, his scream [[GlassShatteringSound breaks the mirror]] and the huge, sharp shards kill him]]
* Popka from ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' has this as his LimitBreak in ''Klonoa Beach Volleyball''.
* In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', the majority of the monster's roars have the ability to stun you and, for the most part, can only be avoided by rolling or blocking with your weapon. However, some monster's roars (such as the [[LightningBruiser Tigrex]])have roars powerful enough to inflict minor damage and send you hurtling dozens of feet across the landscape.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Archon}}'', Banshees have this as their power. It has very short range, but they are the only melee unit that can move and attack at the same time.
* In ''VideoGame/DuneII'', after getting the IX building upgrade, House Atreides can manufacture Sonic Tanks, capable of hitting multiple targets if they're all in the line of fire.
* In the flash-based webgame ''Swords and Sandals 2'', a valid min-maxing strategy is to focus mostly on Charisma, so that your Taunt skill becomes your free, deadly, ranged, and only, weapon.
* Mauru, the resident [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]] {{expy}} in ''VideoGame/WakuWaku7'', is CuteButCacophonic, and has a very loud shout as his LimitBreak.
* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'': Metal band Angel Lust obliterates an entire horde of zombies by [[YourHeadASplode blowing up their heads]] with a deafening BigRockEnding. This specific trope would best apply to Jeanna, the band’s sultry siren of a lead singer, but her MetalScream is only implied, and never actually heard on the soundtrack.
* Orc barbarians in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic V'' are forbidden from learning magic, instead they get a selection of battlecries that function as buffs for their soldiers.
* [[GreekMythology Orpheus]], one of the titular [[GuardianEntity Personas]] in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' is seen attacking in this way, thanks to the big speaker embedded in its torso. It's worth noting that this ability is [[GameplayAndStorySegregation only shown in cutscenes]]; Orpheus only casts regular magic and [[InstrumentOfMurder bashes enemies with its huge harp]] in actual gameplay.
** In the SpinOff ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', Kanji Tatsumi's standing heavy normal attack is him screaming "You want some?" with a large speech bubble appearing behind him and damaging the opponent if they touch it.
----
** And in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', we actually get to use the Thu'um, where it is explained that it is literally a LanguageOfMagic wherein voicing the Thu'um [[RealityWarper makes what you spoke happen]]. The Thu'um is actually spoken using the dragon language, as dragons naturally have the power to alter reality by simply speaking. When they're "breathing" fire, they're actually commanding fire to come into existence.
** We also get to meet the Greybeards. When they call for the dragonborn, ''all of Skyrim'' can hear it. When they whisper it shakes the mountain they live on.
** The Dragonborn is special because s/he can use the Thu'um without any training after absorbing dragon souls, thanks to being the spirit of a dragon in a mortal coil.
* The Mercenary (Melee AreaOfEffect) class in ''DragonNest'' has an entire range of shout skills. One of the higher level ones actually ''creates a vacuum when he inhales'' to bring enemies closer so that the actual shout can hit more of them.
* {{VideoGame/Kirby}} with his "Mike" powerup.
* ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' has a few attacks like this, such as Uproar and Hyper Voice. There are also sound-based [[StatusBuff status-affecting]] moves such as Screech and Supersonic, and the Pokémon ability Soundproof can protect a Pokémon from any sound-based attacks. The evolutionary line of Whismur/Loudred/Exploud are also all based on this trope.
* Queen Sindel from ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. Notable in that she can '''''scream the flesh off people.'''''
* Redeads in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' can stun people with their screams.
** Skull Kid in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'', whose scream ''speeds up the falling of the moon''.
** Pol's Voices can be stunned by the player shouting into the microphone--on systems that have one, that is. ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Phantom Hourglass]]'' was the first game where this was possible outside Japan, but it could be done in the original ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' using the microphone built into the Famicom's second controller.
* Warriors in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' get a few "shout" attacks. They don't damage, but at least one causes "fear".
** As of ''Mists of Pandaria'', Warriors can pick a talent called "Dragon Roar", which on top of being a possible ShoutOut to Skyrim, deals fire damage to all nearby enemies.
** Warlocks also have Howl of Terror (causes fear), priests have Psychic Scream, but the name implies it to be a magical effect rather than actual noise.
** Some enemies and boss monsters have sound-based attacks too. Some cause fear or reduce stats like the one usable by players, but a few actually do damage. A notable mention goes to Murmur, who is apparently an elemental embodiment of sound. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation According to an ingame book, his voice can destroy worlds, but when the player fight him he's greatly weakened after a failed summoning attempt and can be defeated by 5 people.]]
* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' Shout skills are simply skills that have no cast time (and, indeed, can be used while you're casting or using another skill) and have an effective range of "earshot" (which is approximately aggro range). Their effects are generally damage modification (either increasing or decreasing it), but one shout, "You Move Like A Dwarf", actually damages, knocks down, and ''cripples'' whichever foe you have targeted when you use it.
** Similarly, ''VideoGame/TheLordOfTheRingsOnline'' has many, many damaging shouts. Minstrels alone get at least three ways to kill via yelling, with bonus points to Dwarven minstrels, whose shouts, rather than wordless "AAGH!" of every other race, consist of the war-cry "Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!"
* The barbarian of ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} II'' has a number of vocal capabilities (howl, taunt, shout, battle cry, battle orders, war cry and battle command) with a number of effects on enemies ranging from fear, stunning or status penalties all the way to immediate damage. And they can grant allies temporary buffs.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Condemned}}'' and its sequel, there's a whole cult with this ability. [[spoiler: You're one of them, and gain it for the last level of ''Condemned 2''.]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' and Shade Man had the sonic weapon "Noise Crush" in ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan7 7]]'', but that came from their ArmCannon.
** It gets played completely straight with [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork the EXE adaptation]] -- Shademan's standard attack (Noise Crush), its [[SummonMagic [=NaviChip=]]], and same-name [[LimitBreak Program Advance]]. Also played straight with a series of viruses called the Trumpy family -- each one will off-and-on [[BrownNote blast music that will make allies invincible, confuse you, temporarily immobilize you, or (in the later games) render enemies unviewable]] [[InterfaceScrew (that is, they disappeared from your vision completely)]].
** One variation of the Trumpy Virus produces a blast of music that, while it does not impair you in any way, will still prove an annoyance, by ''completely'' refilling a fellow mook's (or it's own) HP. As it is usually teamed up with viruses with sizable HP, as well has having a lot itself, [[ShootTheMedicFirst you WILL want to defeat it first.]]
* In a twist on this trope, the Street Jam psych from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is triggered when the player stimulates the DS' mic. It comprises of Neku summoning giant speakers that blast sound into every Noise in the current battle. A variant, the Twister psych, turns mic stimulation into gusts of wind that blow enemies up and then slam them down.
* Fortissimo from ''FreedomForce vs The Third Reich''.
* ''VideoGame/EccoTheDolphin'' gets various weapons-grade augmentations to his voice over the course of his games; he ''is'' a dolphin, after all.
* ''VideoGame/MagicalBattleArena'' turned [[{{LightNovel/Slayers}} Naga]]'s NoblewomansLaugh into this for her LimitBreak Super Move, where she encases her target in ice with a [[AnIcePerson Freeze Arrow]] then simply laughs beside her hapless victim, dealing massive damage. Somehow, [[RuleOfFunny this just feels right]].
* In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' the Allied attack dog and Soviet war bear have functionally-identical stun abilities based on their roar/bark. The dog has an amplifier to help, and can pass this along to the Multigunner IFV if the dog hops in the shotgun seat. The Allied dolphin has an amplified sonic weapon as an actual damaging attack that can take out boats of they attack in groups.
** There are also GDI Sonic emitter weapons in Tiberium Wars, originally intended as a device to control the spread of Tiberium, they weaponized it after finding how destructive it can be. Incidentally, the Scrin made heavy use of tiberium, making the Sonic weapons brutally devastating against them.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic II'' has the force scream power.
* The sirens in ''VideoGame/GodOfWar II'' have a migraine inducing attack of this nature.
* The Sonic Boom weapon in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'', which uses audio waves from Crypto's FlyingSaucer to bring down buildings and send vehicles flying.
* In the ''{{Franchise/Godzilla}}'' games, Anguirus's only ranged attack is his roar.
* Cynder in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro: Dawn of the Dragon'' has one of these, officially called "Fear" in-game.
* The Sonic weapons in ''{{VideoGame/X-COM}}: Terror From The Deep'', which are this game's equivalent to the first game's Plasma weapons.
* [[VideoGame/BackyardSports OH MY GOD IT'S A SCREAMING LINE DRIVE!]]
* Guile of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' has Sonic Boom and Flash Kick as special attacks. [[AllThereInTheManual It's explained]] as him punching/kicking so hard that his fist/foot reaches supersonic speeds.
* KYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (Screen distorts) [[VideoGame/BioShock Mr B!]] [[MascotMook Mr B!]] [[DarkActionGirl Big Sister]] doesn't want you playing with me...
* In ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', Bowser does this [[spoiler: in the final battle]], but it doesn't do any damage, just pushes you back a little.
** Bowser Jr. uses sound waves as part of his super ability and mega strike in ''Mario Strikers Charged''.
