Re: [microsound] soundtrack to virtual destruction

The strongest is silence. There is nothing more "violent" than when 
there is sound in a movie but when the violence begins it is totally 
silent. It can be virtually unbearable.....
Hm.... maybe very quiet sounds could be worse. Just a high pitched sine 
wave for example. Or a click here and a crackle there. Never heard it in 
a movie or something but that may be even stronger than total silence.
And of course original sounds of violence, especially voices. There is 
nothing worse than a human voice screaming in panic.
