9* ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'': whenever someone's SuperpoweredEvilSide starts to emerge, they go ''hahh, hahh, hahh'', with the font getting wobbly. At some point, one starts to worry what happens when they lose control.
10* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': The bow tie delivery guy has a voice described as ''"as if a hundred birthday clowns got together to strangle each other to death at the same time, and every last one of them liked it."'' It's implied to have somehow made a ''living circulatory system'' throw up.
11* ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'' uses [[PaintingTheFourthWall distinctive fonts]] for characters, resulting in a certain race speaking in “strange, scary fonts”. [[spoiler: The creepy skin lizards are actually quite nice, but the protagonists don’t know that initially.]]
12* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Tedd reacts with [[TraumaButton traumatic fear]] to the sound of the magic detector, which is implied to be akin to a vacuum cleaner (or at least, similarly loud) yet distinctive. He was scared of it as a baby, and it stuck.
13* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': When Annie is hospitalized and hooked to a heart monitor early in chapter 38, Kat mentions that she set the monitor to "alarm only" because she couldn't stand the constant beeping.
14* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': [[MadnessMantra honk]]. [[MonsterClown HONK]]. [[NoMedicationForMe honk]].
15** As if that wasn't enough to establish it as HellIsThatNoise to the characters, then came "[S] Equius: Seek the highb100d". [[spoiler:After you enter the vent as Nepeta, it's dark, you have no idea where Gamzee is, and [[NothingIsScarier all the music stops]] save for... [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blackest-heart-with-honks-2 this]]. ''And you can hear the honking''.]]
16** The honking also turns out to be [[spoiler:the noise [[HumanoidAbomination Lord English]] made to announce his birth into the universe. And his sole purpose for existing is to ensure a universe's destruction.]]
17*** What, no mention for the way the "tangle buddies" song in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004748 Jade: Wake up]] slowly devolves into this demonic, pitchy version of the lyrics, preceded by this steadily increasing low whirring as [[EldritchAbomination horrorterrors flash at the screen?]] [[spoiler: I mean, sure, they're actually out to help the main characters, but that doesn't make it any less disturbing the first time you watch the flash.]]
18* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': A neutronium-based annie plant has a distinctive noise if containment 'fails': "[[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-06-15 SKOOOM]]"!! And given that it usually occurs under circumstances where the ship (or other location) usually goes up with it, it's also considered a ''rare'' sound to survive hearing.
19-->'''PRANGER:''' [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-06-18 Do you mean to tell me]] that you've been close enough to '''hear''' a neutronium pile let go, Captain?\
20'''TAGON:''' Twice in the last three months. Sometime I'll have to tell you about my short, furry employer.\
21'''PRANGER:''' I'll buy the beer, Captain. I'll buy the beer.
22* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Anyone who survives the demon’s spawn ([[spoiler:a litter of kittens]]) will forever jump at the sound of [[spoiler: "'''mew.'''"]]
