1. The shrieking of the damned as they slowly descend into a lake of fire in hell, the sulfur blasted shores lined with leathery winged demons laughing with the most unholy and derisive laughter, mocking the mindless and chilling cries of the cursed as they begin a horrifying eternity of constant pain and soul obliterating agony.
2. The insectile clacking and clattering of ten thousand robot cockroaches scattering in a great gleaming black horde out of ancient human warehouses, remnants of the pre-invasion archaelogy, nothing on their robot bug minds but the seeking and destruction of any living thing, a quest of unremitting futility as earth has for ten millenia been devoid of anything higher in the order than single celled protozoa.
3. Pretty much anything by Modest Mouse.

I used to think tantruming toddlers awful, but I've found teenage whining and tantrums to be immeasurably worse.
