Line 4:
** Any moment where the sound effects and dialog are cut and instead is played a [[One-Woman Wail]] or [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]. Any of the episodes that get that treatment quickly become genuinely disturbing.
** The music in the "Freaky Fred" episode. Accompanied with Fred's cheerful rhyming narration throughout the entire episode. The most disturbing scene is when Fred and Courage are locked in the bathroom together and Fred shaves Courage with a manic grin on his face while a haunting chorus of "la-las" starts to accompany the already eerie music.
{{quote| "Naaaaaaaaaaaaughtyyyyyyyyyy..."}}
** "RETUUURN THE SLAAAB!"
*** "You're not perfect"
Line 15:
** The crazy noises that Azula made when she finally broke down and cried.
** "There's no war in Ba Sing Se" and "The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai."
** That bird that freaked out the Gaang in "The Swamp." Appropriately, it's called the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100712212443/http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Screeching_Dodo Screeching Dodo]. It's pretty harmless, though.
** Oh ''god'' the music they play when you realize there's no one else in the room after Azula hallucinates that she's talking to her mother in a mirror. It's this wrenching, ''dying sounding'' chord that just makes you think "that's it, she just broke".
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp1KBKL2v6Y WESSST!]" from ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]''.
Line 21:
** "CLOOOOOOOOOSED." Don't tell me you didn't wet your pants.
** [[Uncanny Valley|She's heeeeeeeeere.]]
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'': One particular nightmarish segment in which Arnold's Grandpa is an old corpse that's still alive has him saying to Arnold "What did I tell ya, Short Man?" He then proceeds to laugh in a really creepy way while some ominous music plays before his jaw breaks with a loud "CRACK!" and falls off his skull.
* ''[[The Maxx]]'': The animated series featured a flashback story from Mr. Gone's past and Julie's childhood, involving a dying bunny in a box and the scratching noises it made with its good leg.
** [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4e3iq_mr-gones-fairytale_creation The lovely noises start at around 4:20.]
* ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'':
** The loud buzzing sound that came with the live-action deerfly close-ups in the episode "Wormy".
** In "SB-129", Squidward travels through time and ends up in a blank white void. He remarks to himself that he can finally be alone... which is when the word manifests itself as a colorful caption. Then a series of disembodied voices start saying the word "alone", accompanied by more colorful representations of the word, until Squidward finally snaps and tries to get out. Just those calm, echoing voices that repeat the word "alone".
Line 33:
** The "I DON'T NEED IT" scene in "Tea at the Treedome". Spongebob's dried up face is zoomed in on in terrifying detail, complete with an unnerving heartbeat sound.
** In-universe example with the squeaky boots and Mr. Krabs.
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' used this in form of a heart beating with the villain Kardiak, a giant heart with metal tentacles that eats children.
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' owed most of its [[Nightmare Fuel]] to this trope. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK2mE3Tf9Z8 This saw theme] is a good example. Practically every episode has some of this, particularly whenever Ren went [[Ax Crazy]], which was often.
* [[Invader Zim (Animation)/Nightmare Fuel|Unsurprisingly]], ''[[Invader Zim]]''
** "Dark Harvest" gives us the sound of a pigeon cooing - warning you that Zim is nearby and is going to try and steal your organs, replacing them with something else... In that same episode there's also the music that plays when Dib goes looking for Torque after losing sight of him.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrQXYlu9hkA The credits music] and the theme music (especially that growling/screaming noise at the end when the title "Invader Zim" comes up)
** In "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy", you can hear what sounds like a ticking clock in the background starting after Dib is hurt for the second time and lasting up until he flatlines.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8fWUUXeKM The Joker's laugh] on ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series]]'' can be this from time to time.
** Hearing it from [[The Joker]] himself isn't the only thing that makes it qualify for this trope. On multiple occasions, you have him using his trademark smile toxin on unexpecting individuals, causing them to uncontrollably break out into that same [[Laughing Mad|laughing madness]].
* ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'': Him's voice. It ranges from a cheerful lisp to a raging roar to an insidious whisper, with [[Voice of the Legion|a constant creepy reverb throughout]].
Line 50:
** The music that plays in the background when Not!Tommy and Not!Stu speak, also the voices of Not!Tommy and Not!Stu.
* ''[[Roughnecks Starship Trooper Chronicles]]'' does this in one episode, in which Rico hears a mysterious and creepy grinding sound while in a recovery vat after sustaining heavy injuries in battle, a sound no one else can hear. His crew and the medical team working on him all worry about his mental health, until bugs emerge in the base and they realize he could hear them tunneling in.
* Discord from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' gets this with his [[Evil Laugh]] at times. His default one is appropriately evil, but he has a ''far'' more menacing and sinister sounding one he lets off whenever he's not directly onscreen. It will definitly give you nightmares...
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cy9gNE_vIE just listen] to the [[Creepy Circus Music]] playing during Pinkie Pie's "party" in "Party Of One".
** The squawking [[Feathered Fiend|the cockatrice]] makes sounds like a cross between a crow cowling and a chainsaw starting up.
* ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'':
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwjrui9oCVQ IT'S THE ONLY WAY! OHOHOHOHOHO!]
* Also YMMV as a [[Most Annoying Sound]], Ludwig Von Koopa's laugh. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Nnd6bPuCc OooOooohOooh]!
* Amon's voice in ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]''. Being voiced by [[Steve Blum]] helps. His [[Leitmotif]] probably also counts.
** As Tarrlok is bloodbending Korra, you can actually hear the fluids inside her swishing around.
