Most Video Games use audio cues, like visual cues, to let the player know what is going on around him. With startling frequency, however, these cues can be annoying or become annoying, often making players wonder why they even need to exist beyond a tutorial stage. These are the most annoying sounds, the bane of any gamer who so much as dares to leave the sound on, though they can be helpful sometimes to let you know that you're close to getting a Game Over.
