Off the back of a post in the ‘currently listening’ thread we want to make a list of sound monsters for a new trope for the site.
Off the top of my head I’ve got:
Scherzo
Whispers of Terror
Fright Motif
Do we include something like The Devil’s Chord where music is weaponised?
What else can we think of - probably mainly audios but I’m sure there are a few other examples across the media. What’s that comic strip where there’s no sound?
Oh yeah and the 10/Gabby comic The Endless Song and there’s The Jazz Monster and Music Man.

The Hush from Dead Air come to mind (mainly because I just recently listened to that one)

I was just thinking about HP Lovecraft’s “The Music of Erich Zann”, but I suppose you mean Doctor Who examples…

I think maybe Midnight could be counted in this category too.

I almost said ‘not really’ and then thought, idiot - it’s totally about how the entity uses the Doctor’s voice against him.

Would Tropical Beach Sounds and Other Relaxing Seascapes #4 count?

Similar to The Devil’s Chord, The Entropy Composition (MR 142b) had weaponised music, with an Entropy Siren composing a song that that can basically disintegrate anything in its path, creating an entropy wave
