UnrelentingAgony2.wav

A more effective attempt than UnrelentingAgony1, this time with an improved AnalogBox circuit and fewer artifacts. It's a mix of 3 separate runs of an AnalogBox circuit I designed to sound just human enough to be disturbing. The first one I put into my "musical" pack but this one has less of the background "singing" and so I'm going to put it in the Backgrounds pack instead. Also, this file is a seamless loop, unlike the first attempt.

Warning: any sensitive person should avoid listening to this. Most people will find it overwhelming to listen to the entire duration of the clip (my apologies to the moderator who gets to approve this). Just keep reminding yourself that it was generated entirely by a virtual synthesizer circuit. No humans or other living creatures or any recorded sounds were used in producing this sound, despite what you may think you hear. It's lots of oscillators and filters, some delays, etc., with the generated bytes written to the disk drive. That's all.

But if you dare to listen, be aware that Jesus spent more time warning people about the reality of hell than he spoke of just about any other topic. With that in mind, this sound is sobering and disturbing enough that I don't want to joke about it here.

Thanks to zimbot for mentioning my album where I used this.
I apologize that it took me so long to reply to this thread but all of the contributors from free sound were credited appropriately. I thought I had written each of them so I'm doing that now.

I may be using this sound in my live stream Friday night on youtube, beginning at approximately 10:30 PM Central standard time.

I hope you can tune in for the show. sorry, no visuals, people usually close their eyes when listening to my music and all the cameras sold out at the beginning of the pandemic when I started doing these streams anyway.

Thanks. I just noticed that Scott Lawlor layered this rather expertly in a few tracks of his "Plaugues" digital album (most noticeable in track 11). Very effective at being rather disturbing -- check it out on bandcamp at https://scottlawlor.bandcamp.com/album/plagues.
