Baby’s cry
At midnight, the sound of a baby crying in the darkness is indispensable for horror sound effects.
There shouldn’t be any baby here.
In such a situation, the usually adorable cry of a baby becomes the most terrifying thing of all.
When you turn around, is what’s there really a baby?
A woman’s scream
A classic sound effect that’s simple yet unmatched by any other.
Nothing makes you jump like the scream of a woman in the middle of the night—surely the ultimate horror sound effect.
The crash you hear at the end is a staple in horror films as well, as if a ghost were replaying the sounds from the moment of its own death.
a rapidly approaching crisis: be at a crisis point
Yes, something otherworldly is closing in right behind you! A melody played on the piano for such a tense moment.
As the keys race under the grip of fear, the melody inexorably stokes that terror and an uncontrollable sense of panic.
Slowly drifting horror tension Suspenseful Waterphone Sound Effect
Amid a gradually anxiety-inducing melody, you occasionally hear the sound of a disconnected phone line.
Is it a call from somewhere not of this world? It rings and fades over and over, and the slowly encroaching terror nearly stops my heart! This is the ultimate sound effect for crafting such fear.
TV Noise Horror TV Static Noise Sound Effect
I fell asleep with the TV on late at night, and when I suddenly came to, I heard an unfamiliar noise mixed in.
What on earth is that sound? The static from the TV behind my back gradually grows louder.
My fear keeps mounting, and I can’t bring myself to turn around.
It’s a sound effect with that kind of realism.
Horror Low Piano Sound Effect
The sound effect of an ultra-low piano note that lasts only an instant makes the lingering resonance afterward even more terrifying.
As time passes, you start to wonder: did that sound really happen? Was it just something I imagined? It pushes the mood straight into full-on horror.
Singing Ghosts Sound Effect
At first you think it’s just the sound of the wind, but soon it’s clearly someone’s singing.
The voices echo and overlap, gradually becoming a chorus of ghosts.
It’s both sorrowful and tinged with regret, a melody that, for some listeners, sparks the imagination.
