  Worst thing about the Reaper Leviathan is that it uses echolocation. In other words, if you can hear it, it knows exactly where you are

  What's worse: The PDA entry for the Reaper Leviathan reads "If you can hear it, it can see you"

  The sound of those head crab zombies burning and screaming “heeelpp meee” is gonna haunt me for years

  Nothing is so scary as the countdown music for Sonic when he's underwater and about to drown. That gives anyone of a particular vintage instant goosebumps

  I can’t believe no one mentioned the singing of the Winter Lanterns in Bloodborne. Creepy in and of itself AND it signals that the most dangerous enemy in the game is nearby

  As a subnautica fan I am scarred, and I have a rule for when it comes to the Leviathans... "If you can hear it, it can SEE you!"

  If you ever do a part 3, my suggestion is the noise that plays when a burglar appears in the OG Sims game.  It gave me heart palpitations as an 8 year old.

  While the Reaper "bwoom" in ME3 is pretty terrifying, there is one sound in that game that is scarier to me. The screech of a Banshee. Every time I hear that sound, I'm like "Oh, s***, where is it?!?"

  Fun fact, Mass Effect&apos;s sound designer Michael Kent edited the sound of a bear-proof bin opening to create the Reapers&apos; original &apos;death roar&apos;.<br><br>Kent was also the supervising sound engineer for God of War: Ragnarok, which means he&apos;s up for a BAFTA &nbsp;for audio achievement this year.

  What about the bloodcurdling shriek of the ReDeads in Zelda? That one&apos;s notorious. The fact that it freezes you temporarily makes the sound even scarier. Then they add the creepy humping sounds if it jumps on you to make you even more uncomfortable.

  Surprised there&apos;s no Banshee from ME3. The reaper horn is more annoying than scary, but the Banshee? You KNOW you&apos;re in for a bad time when you hear her coming.

  The noise of the Reaper’s chains from the Persona series is very unnerving. It’s literally the sound of death approaching. Even when I was prepared to fight him, hearing the chains rattling gave me chills.
