Best jumpscare sound? - oscar1007 - 02-08-2012
So, im always seeing and hearing this loud and sudden scream (as a jumpsacer sound) when i watch amnesia videos. I was wondering if you know where i can find it?
Also, What do you think is the best sound for a jumpscare?

For me, the best jumpscare sound is the sound you hear when inflicting sanity damage to the player, but this i say because that also bears a screen effect.

I'd say any loud and instant sound (like a bang on a door) together with a bodyforce on the player. Of course, to make the player jump as much as possible, you need to be good at building up the mood for the actual scare.

A new sound you have never heard before.
Just record something and let it go through couple of filters and you have a good jumpscare sound
