Has anyone started a thread with disturbing, frightening sounds/music? (but not overtly so, i.e. no scary speech/screaming etc.)

For example, I always found bagpipes to be disturbing. Also deep thumping bass like the kind you hear at stop lights, from cars with mega subwoofers.

Marilyn Manson did some pretty freaky sounds for Resident Evil (the first one) OST. I remember him talking about it in an interview: he researched what type of sounds actually scare people.
 
It works, especially the first time you listen LOUD. 0m45s gets me every time.
 

 
And of course the interview is on youtube as well:
