[Odyssey 5,716]

This sound effect right here. Thank you for creating such a pleasant sound effect, Nintendo.

Probably not gonna bother as many others as it did me but fun fact; I am incredibly not ok with mannequins or dolls so these noises scared the crap out of me given I knew damn well what was making them. Mannequins appear at 2:16 or so

That nasty wet crunch in Mirror's Edge when you fall off a building.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

The constant moaning noise of someone sick or injured in Kingdom of Amular, especially when trying to speak to an NPC.

 

*I should say more annoying then disturbing, although if someone overheard the noise without watching the screen I suppose it could make some people feel disturbed.

Uriel's Chasm. Just don't play it. Please...

More classic games...Sinistar always creeped me out.  Beware I live:

In the GTA V mission "Fresh Meat," most of the screams are actually pretty funny… except one guy's, when he falls in some acid(?):

I get pretty unnerved by background noises in some video games. Dead Space especially. One of the few horror games where I was actually tense and had a few scares.

 

Then that stupid regenerating necromorph happened and I stopped playing. I should probably go back and finish it.

[That Guy with the CMB 5,873]

How about that sound from Goldeneye for the N64 when you ran guys over with the tank in the Streets level? Their screams and the crunches.

 

 

Not really disturbing after a billion times hearing it, but...it's worth mentioning, nobody ever talks about it.

[Drunk Not I Am 1,070]

I'm going on the basis that disturbing can count as making me lose my focus, and my god, BEARS IN SKYRIM. HOLY LOUD.

Walkin' through the forest having a good time, and the most obnoxious, loud roar possible happens and it's just sooooo freakin annoying. I wish i could mod my skryim ( i'm on xbox) to mute bears. Oh also Nirnroots. Those are also annoying.

From what I have seen of Earthbound, I have to say that Gigyas has some of the most disturbing sound effects in gaming.

[Cash In 22,356]

The drowning sound from the old Sonic games. I swear, it's like they were actively trying to give kids nightmares...

[Ganondorf8 11,316]

The screams made by ReDeads in 'The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'. I don't know what Nintendo were thinking when they decided to use this kind of scream but it makes me cringe every time I hear it.

[Pr0m4NV14 839]

There’s that one SCP game where you gotta escape the facility(I don’t remember the name,) and that real black dude that just melted through the floors makes sounds that still freak me out.

Oh and there’s that Sinistar dude. I remember playing an online version of that game and the voice acting just threw me off Becuase I didn’t know that was possible for an arcade game. 

 

Lastly, there is the music that plays when you encounter one of the exploding robot trains in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The music just doesn’t sound right.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

The sounds the Dividers make in Dead Space. It sounds like a dying whale.

Honourable mention goes to the really unsettling grinding noise made by the Reapers in the Mass Effect trilogy.

[Steve Piranha 29,427]

The sound the Mother Demon makes when she appears in Doom64

 

 

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,470]

The evil American version laughter in Sonic CD.  

[Megas 27,675]

The heavy breathing Regenerators make in RE4

[Dreambiscuit 9,865]

The Cerebral Bore in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil was pretty gross sounding.  You could really hear that thing drilling its way into peoples’ skulls until it hit soft matter. Very nasty. 

[Shadowmoth2011 150]

For the most part, Crash Twinsanity is a fun, silly romp in a wacky universe with wacky characters and wacky gameplay styles. Good, clean, wholesome fun.

Then you reach the Dingodile fight, and suddenly you're in a Hostel movie

I'm fairly sure those are the moans of tortured souls in the music track!

Beware the twins and the movie  

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

That damned baby in Resident Evil 8. Genuinely the stuff of nightmares.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,470]

8 carries that unique horror
