Horror-Suspense Drone Texture

Overall rating (53 ratings)

Horror SFX

An ambient drone texture I created that originally was slated to appear in an Indie Horror game developed by a friend, the game was shelved permanently before it ever got off the ground.

This is a simple 3 layer drone. The first two are synth layers (Bass and Hi-Freq modulation).
The final layer is a prepared banjo being bowed then put through granular synthesis to add interest and movement.

This sound is perfect for adding suspense, throwing it in tense exploration sections of a game or using it as a tension builder for film applications.
