* Used throughout the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGSA9-nKYaE&feature=related Tyrant's theme] in the original, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhi0KfO4Aig the Bandersnatch theme] in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica|Code Veronica]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F89LW0dfUjc the Leech Zombie theme] in ''0'', and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFQT2_yOFX4 the Neptune shark danger music] in ''RE 1 Remake''. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOTgc2neIH8 Noche ](night battle) music and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XeBKPYFWCI Mendez's battle theme] in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' overlap this with [[Drone of Dread]].
* A lot of ''[[BioShock (series)|BioShock]]''{{'}}s music uses violins to represent madness, such as in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-GzXp-Fzv4 Doctor Steinman's battle theme].

* ''[[Warhammer Online]]''{{'}}s music for Chaos-controlled areas uses these [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhl5UeTsvF4 to full effect]. To help things sound even ''more'' discordant and unnatural, the musicians played their instruments upside-down.

* The ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' games [[Variable Mix|remix the music depending on where you are in a level]]. When you're, say, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ41CdgMANo very, very deep underwater], strings of this ilk kick in, to [[Hell Is That Noise|sometimes unsettling effect]].
* The drowning music used throughout the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series.
* ''[[Doom]] II'''s title music.
* [[Pikmin]] 2's theme for the battle against {{spoiler|Titan Dweevil}} is full of this. In fact, the more parts you take off of him, the more intense the Psycho Strings get!

* ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' uses this in the first encounter with Zealots; specifically the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hCAK8OfQGE "Bait and Switch"] movement of the Winter Contingency OST track.
