Angry Drone 5

An ambient track that sounds a bit angry. Can be cut down to fit whatever length needed, and is simple enough that a looping point could likely be found fairly easily if needed longer.

37. Shakespearean Drama (roomtone, drone)

I'm talking King Lear, Macbeth, Hamlet, etc. Not exactly a roomtone, more likely a cinematic tool for enhancing darkness. - This sound is part of the Weird Roomtones and Silences soundpack - a compilation of synthetic ambiences and silences meant to enhance a neutral atmosphere in the desired direction. The filenames usually describe an imaginary situation that I imagine would need the particular roomtone, hardly influenced by movies I've watched. ------You can use the soundpack as you wish, but

24. Strange Wind Outside (roomtone)

A tension/anxiety tool. This sound is part of the Weird Roomtones soundpack - a compilation of synthetic ambiences and silences meant to enhance a neutral atmosphere in the desired direction. The filenames usually describe an imaginary situation that I imagine would need the particular roomtone, often influenced by movies I've watched. ---!!! You can use the soundpack as you wish, but I'd be happy to hear your feedback. In particular - how did you use the sound (for example, what kind of scene)

Captured during a windstorm. Water sprays hard against the window pane. Air rushes past a crack in the window making a loud, breathy, howling whistle; while outside, the swaying trees are swelling waves of white noise. (There is no thunder).
