As ghost stories and suspense-style horror are fading, this can be called an ambitious piece that aims to evoke fear from a completely new angle.
A sound that’s scary when you listen to it at night
It’s an unremarkable piece that simply records a baby’s voice, but all the ambient household sounds that would normally be present have been completely cut, effectively creating a distinctive eeriness.
The audio quality is good, and because the sound is well balanced between the left and right ears, it delivers a strong sense of presence.
Sci-fi horror-ish? Sound effects
It’s a piece that gives you an unsettling feeling, as if some unknown, mysterious object is creeping up on you.
Listening to it makes you want to bolt from the spot, so horror fans will find it an irresistible sound effect.
Warning: Extremely scary! What is the civil protection siren that’s even scarier than the emergency earthquake alert sound?!
This is the siren sound transmitted by the Government of Japan in the event of an attack from abroad.
Just imagining the situations in which it would be played is sure to fill you with a sense of despair.
And of course, the sound itself has a tone that strongly triggers vigilance, making it irresistible for horror fans.
