Dear Rita, Dear List,
I have noticed that some sounds can give rise to combination tones, of which you feel that they are generated in your ear. This can cause goose bumps. In the PhD thesis of Reinier Plomp you can find, if I am right, how to generate the strongest combination tones.

Hi Guys,
I am in my final year in the University of Limerick, so this year I have had to come up with a final year project, mine is, "Is it possible to make synthetic sounds sound real and also, can they carry the same affect of emotion to the listener as the real deal would?" This is all in the horror genre. I have had to gather some horror sounds to work with but I would also like other peoples opinion on what is considered a scary sound to them. By the end of my fourth year I will hopefully have an installation here at my university, where the listener sits in a dark room, 3D sound, so speakers on high, mid and low level of the walls, and a narrative sound design playing around them.
So my question is to you, what is a sound that you find chilling/scary?
I would appreciate any feedback you could give me.
Kind Regards,
Rita
