The fear and screams won’t stop! | Horror Ambient Sounds & Sound Effects (31–40)
Male scream (SoundEffect)

This is a very long male scream sound effect that lasts several seconds.
The echo on the scream is extremely strong, and when listened to with headphones, it delivers a sense of presence that feels like it will linger in your head.
The distortion typical of scream sound effects is very minimal, so it really makes you want to use it in videos or games.
Terrifying Female Scream Sound Effect

This is a female scream sound effect recorded in a good environment with clear audio and no noise.
The performance is very realistic, and I’d say it fully qualifies as a sound effect.
The playback time is short, and it seems ready to be reused as is.
Copyright-free, commercially usable [sound effect]: woman’s scream
![Copyright-free, commercially usable [sound effect]: woman’s scream](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sOOjj97Twkk/hqdefault.jpg)
It’s a very low-pitched scream for a woman and could likely be used as the scream of a middle-aged or elderly woman.
The acting is excellent, and even a brief listen evokes a strong sense of fear.
However, the sound quality isn’t good and it suffers from clipping.
Copyright-free, commercially usable sound effects: child scream

This work features the recorded screams of a very small child.
It gives such a young impression that you might even think it’s a baby crying.
Because of that, using it in horror scenes could amplify the terror to a spine-chilling degree.
It’s copyright-free, so it seems suitable for a variety of uses.
Little Girl Scream sound Effect (muffled)

We have recorded the screams of a teenage girl.
Naturally, a woman’s scream is much higher-pitched than a man’s, so it also has the effect of unsettling the audience.
It seems like it could be used not only in scenes that call for screams, but also as a way to depict panic scenes and the like.

![[Noise] Hellish footage of Councilor Nonomura screaming nonstop lol](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKPI-4tvl2I/sddefault.jpg)
This is a work that features the recorded screams of Prefectural Assemblyman Nonomura.
Since they were genuine cries in a truly desperate situation, they can be used as sound effects with zero acting.
They might be interesting not only for horror games but also for gag scenes.
In conclusion
This time, we selected some horror-themed ambient sounds, and I think quite a few practical ones made an appearance, don’t you? Just by focusing on the audio, your homemade horror game or haunted house can instantly gain atmosphere.
Be sure to make use of them! In addition to this article, Rug Music also features other horror tracks.
