Most annoying sound effect in video games?

Easiest poll ever: When I was a kid I had SimAnt on the Super Nintendo. I loved it but I didn't play it very much because of the giant(err, actually regular-sized) spiders. I don't have a fear of spiders, and didn't then, BUT whenever the spider did your little ant president in, it made this noise...I don't know how to describe it. It was like a chorus of demon children miming the sound of rewinding a tape. That's the best I got. Anyway, it was so awful I was afraid to play.
I must hear this.
 
Snake, SNAKE, SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

Fire in the hole!
Fire in the hole!
Fire in the hole!

The unreachable Crackdown Orb sound :\
 
I never understood all the hate navi gets. Well I do sort of. My point being, I actually like Navi's voice and think that the sound effect is actually rather good. The problem is how often it was used. Almost spammed at times but I never "hated" it. The zelda near-death beeping is much more annoying and doesn't have such redeeming qualities.
 
The standard pistol in Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles... that shit made me stop playing the game... it was so tinny and grating.
 
I'm not above using the most powerful weapon in all of Mario Kart

HI, I'M DAISY!!!! HI, I'M DAISY!!!! HI, I'M DAISY!!!! HI, I'M DAISY!!!! HI, I'M DAISY!!!!

Jesus fucking Christ the LOUD BREATHING noise when you wear the gas mask is borderline unbearable. I dread whenever I have to venture to the surface. I actually had to mute it for an entire chapter earlier because it irritated me so much.

Yes. My God that was irritating. Also any game that beeps when you have low health (Link to the Past). Shut the fuck up.

Listening to it is actually giving me breathing problems. Glad I am not experienced that part of the game.
 
Easily the most annoying sound in video game history is the scratchy bs glitchy scratch fuck shit that Battlefield 3 is using in these new trailers.

I am not even going to post a link to save yall's ears.

I met a girl who introduced herself that way. I wasn't sure if she did it on purpose, though, so I tried my best not to laugh.

Ohhh, not sure how I missed that. And I have to say it's awesome.
Totally claustrophobic and I can feel how it actually makes me breathe hard as well.
If a sound effect can do that, I'm all for it.
 
Most WoW players will agree that the male human aggro sound is the most annoying one.

HUH!
HUH!
HUH!
HUH!
 
Yeah, I hate the crying baby Mario, but at the same time, it's brilliant because it incentivizes the player not to lose him... and if you do, nothing is more important than recapturing him!

MASS EFFECT critical mission failure music.

The" lack of sound" when you miss and rpg in fps.
I fucking hate the Mass Effect one and I have no idea why. It just sounds so fucking stupid.

I want to say the meatboy running sound but the squishy sounds are so good.

And the whole kingdom drinks the water that washed his balls.
 
Girls in JRPGs constantly randomly moaning and shit from just walking, or randomly during cutscenes. Always have to turn down the volume so it doesn't seem like I'm watching some strange ass porn.
 
Baby Mario. Those dumb fucks that keep begging you for money in Assassin's Creed. As a matter of fact, every random NPC voice in AC annoyed the hell out of me because they only had like 4 lines and they kept repeating. Single-handedly stopped me from getting past the 4 or 5th assassination.
