I will report instances of copyright claims on YouTube — ContentID or otherwise — in this thread. Feel free to do the same. Ideally reporting back on your method and success of objecting to the claim.

There were a few discussions on the topic before and you can find even more on reddit.

Today I got a "Revenue sharing in your video" email on a recently uploaded video in which I use Dark Orchestral Piece.wav (cc0) by furbyguy. The claim is by FUGA on behalf of Leonardo Travensoli for the 2024 song "Suspense", which might be this one. The preview doesn't sound like it but it seems to be a concatenation of free loops, possibly for the purpose of copyright trolling.

In my dispute I stated something like "I'm a Creative Commons veteran and will take this to the next instance if necessary", followed by a link to the sound, copy paste of the CC0 summary from that page and a link to the linked CC0 page.

The song is credited in the video description though due to CC0 that is irrelevant.

The sound description on Freesound states "Created with Logic Pro X's 'Symphony Orchestra' Jam Pack." - it might be that the uploaded song matches the Logic Pro X loop so much it triggers automatic identification.

The licensing of the original is documented on Wayback Machine.

Feel free to message me if I don't update this after 31 days (30 days is the max time a resolution will take according to YouTube).
