** The Weeping Angels now have two more horrible sounds to their credit. One is their laughter, an awful squealing sound of stones scraping each other, and the second is {{spoiler|the low crunching sound as they move on-screen}}.
** The sort of rustling noise that plays whenever {{spoiler|the Silence}} are nearby.
