If you really want to freak out, add a Risset scale.
There's an ominous descending scale there, and another one here, but the ascending ones are equally cool.

Using Linky to open them all at once was glorious. Rather than starting precisely simultaneously, they started a couple seconds apart from each other, one after the other. The effect was a terrifying, continuously rising crescendo of soul-shattering horror. It reminded of that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Bible ghosts come flying out of the ark, melting Nazis.
Also, I'm going to take the advice of one of the YouTube commenters and make this my message alert tone.

does anyone remember the old Freeverse software app for mac called "Jared, Butcher of Song?" It was a singing smiley face that when you clicked on it, it would sing what sounded like a traditional spanish song, except in no spanish anyone could recognize, and the singing was so atonal and awful that it was simultaneously horrific and hysterically funny.
well, anyway, it was an old OS 9 app, and free and rather popular. Anyway, the best part was you could open it many many times simultaneously and rush through clicking them all. It became this horrific dischordant assault that would cause my friends and I to crack up until we lost all sense of hearing and noticed blood coming out of our ears.
Oh hey! they've re-released it for OS X! from the people that brought you Sim Stapler!
