fierce storm

The eerily echoing sound of a storm over the distant sea.
That thin, lingering sound may be a sign that something is about to happen on these waters.
The sorrowful howl of the wind and the increasingly rough sea create immersive sound effects that are perfect for horror scenes.
Purple room

The twilight hour between sunset and the creeping night.
Inside a building heavy with meaning, a fleeting purple light streams in through the windows, and a host of mysteries gathers as one.
It’s a melody that makes you feel as if you could seek answers visible only in this very moment.
hopeless situation

The quietly flowing piano’s beautiful melody at times becomes disordered, breaks loose, then lingers, as if expressing a hopeless situation and the emotions within it.
The delicate, wavering line of beauty eventually fades away only to reappear, toying with the listener in a way that seems to mirror this inescapable scene.
Confusional state

It’s a melody that feels like it came straight out of a horror movie’s desperate scene—there’s nothing more you can do, no way out of this place, this situation! The deep, low piano line makes the heavy atmosphere almost visible.
It’s raining hard

The sound of heavy rain that perfectly suits a dreamy flashback scene at the beginning of a horror movie—one that hints at the epic story to come.
It’s like hearing the rain pour down outside while you’re inside a cavernous building with a high ceiling, creating just the right sound effect.
Witch’s Forest

The notes that stray off-key, unable to become a melody, instill only a vague sense of unease in the listener.
These sound effects create a psychology that mirrors the protagonist’s state of mind as they push forward along a pathless route to meet a witch said to live deep within the forest.
Hushed Breathing

This is the perfect sound effect for creating the fear that something is lurking in the darkness.
Its dark, heavy breathing—clearly not that of an ordinary human—works effectively in tense scenes.
The anxiety and terror of not knowing what will emerge are absolutely top-tier.
