9* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]] hearing [[spoiler: the noise that the Entity makes when it's claiming one of its victims. Then the creepy laugh that follows it.]] When hears it, he actually says the trope name word for word.
10* Cammy's screech in the intro to ''WebVideo/ACoupleOfCuntsInTheCountryside''[='s=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5ad2g8K2TA ghosts]] episode.
11* In WebVideo/DiamandaHagan's review of ''Film/{{Sextette}}'', she dubs over Creator/DomDeluise's musical number with "something a little more pleasant". In the ending credits, she reveals what the noise was; an angry Tasmanian Devil.
12* The first ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' has an extremely corrupted woodwind instrument noise at the end (There is NightmareRetardant at play here as you can hear whoever was playing it and several other people cheerfully crack up after the final note plays).
13* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' has very good voice acting. [[spoiler:In the case of Android 18's absorption at the end of Episode 51, too good.]]
14** Imperfect Cell's debut in the main series with his creepy humming and singing of "Mr. Sandman" counts as this.
15** Another from Team Four Star, from ''WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged'', [[spoiler: The noises made by the Mako Reactor Mutant in episode 11]]. The subtitles even lampshade it
16---> UNSPEAKABLE SOUNDS OF ELDRITCH HORROR\
17NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NOISE\
18[[LampshadeHanging THIS WILL MAKE IT HARD TO SLEEP AT NIGHT]]
19* ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'': Coughing and audio distortions are the two big ones. The deep imitation of a human voice done by the Operator also counts, though it's a lot rarer.
20** [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]] ''loves'' this trope. Mostly with the same as above.
21-->[[spoiler:'''The Operator: Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to... you... Happy... birthday, [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive dear]] [[TragicMonster Alex...]] [[NightmareFuel Happy...]] [[OminousVisualGlitch birthday...]] [[BeingWatched to]] [[MoreThanMindControl you...]]]]'''
22* This video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCrE3B_Isuk Scary Mystery]] contains nothing except freaking [[SensoryAbuse hellish, demonic, extremely loud, shrill ear piercing banshee-like screams]] that can cause your ears to bleed to death being heard repeatedly while overlapping the background music. An odd blend of scary and super annoying. Fair warning, don't watch the entire thing with your headphones at full volume.
23* ''WebVideo/TheMonumentMythos:''
24** Whatever it is that the ADA did to Mount Rushmore during ''RUSHMOREREVENGE'', one of the "symptoms" was that strange, high-pitched howls of some kind started coming from it five days in, getting especially bad as [[spoiler:the mountain grew spikes of some kind]].
25** The noises coming from the electrified cavern [[spoiler:(assumed to be the Horned Serpent)]] in ''MAIZEMOVIEMAKER'' once interlopers wake it up are vaguely similar. And they're unsettling enough as is, coupled with its thundering.
26** Air raid sirens are unnerving enough as is. An air raid siren during an [[WesternTerrorists ADA]] broadcast hijack perhaps more so, but as the events of ''DEANDISASTER'' showed, it was only the prelude to something much, much worse, as every siren in the nation started blaring loud enough to blow out the eardrums of every person in the USA.
27** ''LIBERTYLURKERS'' completes this trifecta with lower-pitched, ''much'' lowder howls coming from [[spoiler:the Liberty Lurker emerged from the Statue of Liberty's pedestal... right after [[TranshumanAbomination its true nature]] is revealed]].
28** Throughout the series, we're told the [[BotanicalAbomination Special Trees]] sometimes sing to draw in specific people; a rhyme also implies they can do this to defend themselves, and that wherever they came from, they all sang as well. We get further and further information into this strange, infinite forest they apparently came from, but never get to hear these songs until ''LIBERTYLURKERS'' [[spoiler:provides direct footage of their realm. They are indeed all singing down there, an infinite cacophony of alien tones that can cause permanent brain damage if heard too long]].
29* ''ARG/TheNoedolekcinArchives'': Partway in the middle of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfw07rDrko8&list=PLLETAMxb4wBIcBTFnpvy4bRMn361HQos_&index=5&pp=iAQB Nick Jr. Anomaly (2001, Found Footage)]]", there is a very heavily distorted version of a child screaming.
30* In the review of ''Film/ScoobyDoo'', WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's trips to purgatory are punctuated with one tone getting louder and louder, not unlike the Joker's theme in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.
31* In Season 4 of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', the Nuckelavee Grimm's call [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RRyGfgpMTE is a loud, piercing, two-toned]] ''shriek'' unlike anything else heard in the show, able to be heard from miles away. It sounds vaguely like a crowd of people screaming in terror and death - likely deliberate, in order to further instill panic in its prey.
32** Then, in the finale of Season 5, we see an illusion of [[HumanoidAbomination Sa]][[BigBad lem]] that produces a multi-tonal, ear-splitting roar that ''outdoes'' the Nuckelavee.
33** [[spoiler: CRWBY obviously thought they hadn't made their Grimm creepy enough yet, for Volume 6 gives us the freaking Apathy. A single scream from them not only haunts the nightmares of the viewers, it also drains Team RWBY of their energy, their will to fight, and even their will to live.]]
34* ''WebAnimation/SaladFingers'' was already freaking people out from day one with "Beware The Friendly Stranger" by Boards of Canada as it's creepy background music, but then it had to get worse in episode 2 where the titular character has a dream that he's speaking to one of his finger puppets, who responds to with with an unidentifiable, ear-piercing screech.
35* In Episode 12 of ''WebVideo/SatelliteCity'' and afterwards, we hear a sinister, echoing popping sound whenever the hideous and terrifying [[spoiler:[[TheDreaded Dizzy]] [[HumanoidAbomination Jones]]]] is on the hunt. Not to mention the same character's [[VoiceOfTheLegion voice]], which can ''almost'' be [[VoiceChangeling mistaken for]] the voice of a normal human. [[EvilSoundsDeep Almost.]]
36* ''Blog/TheSunVanished:'' With how little light there is, one could almost be thankful the dangers out there have distinctive sounds. ''Almost''.
37** The wandering lights make [[https://twitter.com/TheSunVanished/status/993714245484318725 a constant, rapid clacking sound]].
38** Whatever eerie craft that seem to be flying overhead have [[https://twitter.com/TheSunVanished/status/992095357617127424 a low, but hard-to-miss hum]] when running normally. When they unleash blue light, [[https://mobile.twitter.com/TheSunVanished/status/1046568900341698560 whatever hellish screech comes out overwhelms the recorder]].
39* ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'':
40** Lakitu, since Episode 6, finds terror in Mario's laughter [[spoiler: after Mario runs him over with a Yoshi.]] ([[{{Irony}} Ironic]] in that this happens [[spoiler: while he is reporting that the kingdom is rid of the Mario Brothers.]])
41** The electronic chirps and beeps of the [[Platform/GameAndWatch Game & Watches]].
42--> '''Fox''': What is wrong? What is noises?
43** Absolutely, the off-screen sound of [[spoiler: Ness' bat]] scraping on the ground.
44* [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas]]'s anguished screams of physical agony and emotional implosion after [[spoiler:[[BodyHorror his locomotive casting bursts open and his warped skeletal innards crawl out]] when he discovers TheAwfulTruth about his existence]] at the end of ''WebAnimation/Shed17''. At first it's [[NightmareFuel terrifyingly inhuman]], then it starts to sound like [[{{Tearjerker}} crying]], as if he's screaming "'''''[[BigWhy WHY?? WHY??]]'''''"
45* In ''Literature/{{Twig}}'', the Ghosts are modified humanoid who communicate through sounds above human hearing and navigate with echolocation. Realizing this, Helen captures one and kills it slowly and painfully, which allows its screams to be heard by its fellows, manifesting as a distant buzzing on the edge of hearing. The sound of one of their own suffering when they've never encountered a WorthyOpponent before is enough to massively unsettle them and give Helen an edge.
46* In a video of ''Creator/TwoSetViolin'''s where they unbox and test shoddy, cheap violins bought off the internet, the first one does not make any sound when used with the bow that comes with it, but when played with an actual violin bow, it makes a ''dreadful'' half-screech-half-groan that's described as "what you hear when death approaches you".
47* In ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', there is the sound of station management when they come out of their office after Cecil angers them by describing them on air.
48* ''WebOriginal/WellBeRightBack'': Used to great effect in many of the tapes. In some of them, the volume is cranked up too loud, while others, such as "Red Mist Anomaly", feature sounds that can only be described as close to humans screaming.
49* ''FanFic/YouAwakenInRazorHill''. ''' ''Scr@pe'' '''
50** An interesting variation, because the story is in second person, you the audience is the main character hearing the sounds.
51** Also features cloth rustling sounds, things in the dark, and various other stock Horror movie sound effects. ''Constantly.'' [[spoiler:Until right at the end. The Narrator actually comments at that point that this is the first time it's ever been [[NothingIsScarier ''completely silent'']] since you woke up in Razor Hill. ''Meaning the sounds were so constant, you mentally tuned them out to the point where you don't realize they were still there until they are gone.'']]
