Critical Annoyance	comment	For the proper experience, run the "music" from this video while reading this page. Red Alert! Red Alert! Life Meter almost empty! Critical Existence Failure imminent! Heal Thyself and this warning will go away. In games where the player character(s) have Hit Points or some other measure of health, it's not uncommon for the game to warn the player that their health is low. After all, if their life meter depletes, it's Game Over, and the resulting consequence can be anywhere from a minor headache to a Rage Quit inducing catastrophe. However, while making a warning sound like a beep can definitely be effective in alerting the player to their condition, playing said sound over and over again is pretty much guaranteed to get on the player's nerves. This warning is ubiquitous in games with hit points or a life meter. It might become annoying such that the player is less likely to play carefully when health runs low. On the other hand, when a game does avert it, and you end up dying because you didn't notice your health was low, you may start to miss it. Some games use a Heartbeat Soundtrack as this sound. Some will have a character making the sound In-Universe, doubling as an example of Annoying Video Game Helper. Game developers have started to pick up on the fact that this noise can drive certain players to near insanity, and merciful ones opt to downplay this trope in one of a few ways in more contemporary games, making this somewhat of a Dead Horse Trope. The same beeping noise plays as usual once you reach low health, but quiets down after a few seconds to the point where it's barely audible; just quiet enough to not annoy the player, but still loud enough that they can hear it and know their health is low. Alternatively, the game will do the same thing, except the noise will be completely muted after a few seconds. In this way, the game alerts the player that their health is low, but understands that they (probably) won't forget even after the noise dies down. The game plays a single sound when you reach low health, but doesn't have constant beeping. It is partly Truth in Television, except in Real Life, signs can usually be much, much worse.

Should your meter run out, you die right on the spot, keeling over and turning into a skeleton... time to use another life.

Critical Annoyance / int_1d45e6aa	comment	Gaia Online's MMO zOMG! has two types. If your health runs low, your heart starts beating loudly. If your stamina runs low, your character starts panting heavily and gasping for breath. Not too bad, provided you can find a safe place (or helpful players) to rest and recover. However, it doesn't stop if you're dazed and waiting to be revived. Now they do cease while dazed. But what hasn't changed is that even if you lower/mute the sound effects from the in-game options, it doesn't affect these two.

Critical Annoyance / int_1fc3ec4d	comment	Rock Band actually has the note highway pulse a clear red whenever either you or a draining crowd meter is in the dangerous red section of the crowd meter (or the bottom 1/4 of it). This red is clearly visible even during solos, and is not synchronized with the music. The pulsing of the overdrive meter right next to the strike bar on the note highways is actually a useful, non-irritating reminder to make use of it (and it is snyced with the music). The highway-obstructing "TILT TO SAVE BAND MEMBER" notice? Annoying as hell. Fortunately, the drummer will probably complete fills on reflex and won't have to worry about the notice too many times (save when someone fails out DURING a drummer's fill, causing the fill to become useless due to a bug.)

Critical Annoyance / int_27c361a9	comment	The 2001 remake of Spy Hunter mostly averts the trope, which makes the times when this trope does occur more egregious. The Interceptor, despite having a talking AI, only gives you audio warnings at various stages (50%, 25%, 10%) of damage. Of course, when the vehicle is visibly disposing of most of its body to turn into a motorcycle at the 25% mark, it makes the latter two warnings redundant. The devs also saw fit to have her tell you when you've completed or failed objectives, injured civilians, or when you approach a Weapons Van or level end.

Every character in Tales of Vesperia has a few unique "I'm screwed" lines to let you know they're at low health, as well as a line to let you know that Repede is at low health. He's a dog, he can't really say it himself. Tales of the Abyss also has this, with quotes to let you know if you've been hit by a powerful attack or if you're near death. Oddly enough, one of Jade's low-health quotes is "looks like we're still okay," meaning he often says that after surviving an attack that has just killed everyone else. Although that's quite in character, actually. Bonus points if you have Anise in the party who will reply with "We are SO not okay".

Critical Annoyance / int_3b7abee2	comment	Both of the Half-Life games have the HEV suit announcing major or minor injuries and warning about "User death imminent" whenever you're under 25% or take massive damage from a fall. It tends to drone on if your health manages to pass several thresholds in one hit. At least the first Half-Life allows you to turn down or turn off the suit's "voice", and its expansion packs avoid the voice altogether, because their protagonists aren't wearing HEV suits. In Half-Life 2 the suit's voice is quieter and has fewer line prompts. Used as a bit of Black Comedy by Freeman's Mind in an outtake where Gordon falls to his death. The previously muted voice activates and begins its warning speech in otherwise dead silence. The titular protagonist of Half-Life: Alyx has a pair of Gravity Gloves instead of a HEV suit. Said gloves let off a repeated high-pitched chirp when her health is critcally low, but only if you happen to be looking at the health monitor built into the off-hand glove.

Critical Annoyance / int_43f52aa9	comment	A mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion used this in an interesting way. When your health dropped below 15 percent, the screen would start to blur. You could also set it so the blur started at 80 percent, but the magnitude was less noticable. It was called "Immersive Health Indication" in case anyone wants to use it. This was integrated in The Elder Scrolls Online, as reaching critical HP levels makes the borders of your screen turn red, the colors of the world to lose saturation and the sound to dim. Actually dying dyes everything in a ghostly blue and changes the music to a requiem-like ominous chant.

Critical Annoyance / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Most Ace Combat games have a few. Most of obvious is the warning you get when you are about to crash into the ground ("Warning, pull up!"). Also, the warning sound of a missile tailing you (which grows more intense as the missile gets nearer) can be this if you are already low on health or play on a Harder Than Hard difficulty where a single hit spells Game Over. The worst offender of this by far was the first game: Get hit by so much a pebble? "ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! ALERT, BODY DAMAGE! etc..." every time your plane is damaged. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War players have learned to loathe the mission "Solitaire" due to this; the mission in question requires that you get to the objective completely undetected by enemy radar, and due to this you must fly at low level (as in, below treetop level) in order to stay out of the detection cones, and as such you become very close bedfellows to the following: Every game since Ace Combat: Assault Horizon includes warning sounds when the plane is stalling or it thinks you're about to crash. Assault Horizon even makes your plane speak in its native tongue - your Sukhoi Su-27 will warn you of missiles in Russian, for instance. If you have AI wingmen in a mission, their radio chatter will include them calling out any enemies they see coming for you. Your AWACS will do this regardless. Missions with a large amount of AA or fighters become infamous for this; when the battles start picking up, the missile warning chirps become literally constant in your ear. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies was a particularly notable offender, since the radar lock warning was a series of buzzes that turned into a long, loud, grating buzz when a missile was fired at you. And you better believe the enemies fire a lot of missiles.

Critical Annoyance / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: "Not enough rage." "I need more rage." Coming right up. Fortunately, these can be turned off, and have been by default since at least patch 3.0, although the UI interface sounds that replace them and can't be turned off without addons are almost as annoying. "I'm out of range." "I'm too far away!" "I'm out of range!" Poor young mages who sit at a distance, casting spells while it yells at them... Not nearly as annoying as trying to level as a Fire Mage. When Pyroblast, the mainstay pulling spell, had a 6s cast time. Pretty much necessary to nail that one from max range if you didn't want to be torn to shreds while soloing. In seeming contradiction of the above, however, many addons add sound effects to the game to warn players of critical situations, including low health or mana and when they are about to be hit by a dangerous boss attack, among other things. Such mods typically use a single alert sound when you drop below a certain threshold of mana or health, telling you to moderate your usage or use some form of recovery skill. The "I can't do that" sounds play only when you can't perform the action, but by that time it's often too late to do anything about it. Some addons then fall right back into this trope when they spam a "Need Heal" message into the group channel. Many healers will intentionally not heal a group member who does that since it is so annoying tends to scroll actually useful messages off the chat window.

Incoming missiles with a detected lock cause a vehicle's klaxon to repeatedly beep as long as the missiles are still in the air. In aerospace, this can be deadly as missiles never give up until they run out of fuel - forcing a critical damaged aircraft to either die by Anti-Air fire while dodging the missiles, or retreat ASAP and die from the missiles exploding their engine - all while the BEEP BEEP BEEP... BEEP BEEP BEEP is playing. Several tanks also engage a klaxon when their rear armor has been heavily damaged (exposing their engine) or their internal structure is critically damaged, though it's generally drowned out by the deafening autocannons mounted on many tanks. MechWarrior 3 has a constant heat warning klaxon when the heat gets respectively high enough. If you're loaded mostly with lasers, you're going to be hearing this a lot. MechWarrior Online subverts this when at critical damage, a warning tone will play for several moments but otherwise stays quiet, the blinking red light in the cockpit and the red "CRITICAL DAMAGE" displayed on your HUD stays until you win/die though.

Critical Annoyance / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect Reaching low health in the games results in a red filter and Heartbeat Soundtrack playing. To make it even worse in the first game, you can't zoom in your aim while your health is below 15% or so. This means you're even more likely to die unless you burn a medigel or equip certain armor upgrades and wait to regenerate. The Hammerhead in Mass Effect 2 has a constant siren that goes off if it takes even minor damage. Shepard and the squad will occasionally call out some variant of "Shields are down!" to warn the player. It's not frequent enough to be annoying, but that also makes it unreliable. Your teammates may also take note when your health is very low. In the first game, whenever the Mako tank loses its shields and starts taking health damage, your squadmates will yell phrases like "We're hit!" "Taking fire!" and "Hull compromised!" This gets very annoying in battles with tons of enemies that are constantly shooting you.

Critical Annoyance / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: The 3D Super Mario Bros games. Whenever Mario's health is critical, he begins breathing heavily when idle. Sunshine upped the ante by having him sound exhausted with half-hearted "Woo"s and "Yeah"s. Yoshi's Island: The three Yoshi's Island games have this in the form of the babies' shrill crying. And you only have to get hit once for this to happen. The cry was actually made more annoying during development because testers weren't as focused on recovering their baby as the devs thought they should be. Strangely, for being an ape, Baby Donkey Kong in Yoshi's Island DS isn't that annoying at all. Baby Mario is still unbearable. And Baby Wario and Bowser are even worse. At least in the first game, there's also a loud beeping if your timer (basically your health meter) dips under ten seconds and Baby Mario's still not on your back. The timer's number turns red and significantly larger until it refills back up to ten again. And in Yoshi's Story, the music would lose its rhythm and go off-key whenever your life-meter-flower lost all its petals. The flower would also turn blue and frown, and Yoshi would sit down and start panting while idle. Paper Mario: In the Paper Mario series, there's a repetitive beep that sounds off if Mario (or, in Thousand-Year Door, the current partner) lets his HP drop below 5. The pitch increases if his HP is allowed to hit 1. In the first two, this noise only occurs in combat, letting the only indication that Mario's health needs improving be a relatively quiet gasping when you let him stand still. (Outside of combat, the partners don't make noise when they're low, but they show visible signs of exhaustion.) In Super Paper Mario, the first-level Critical Annoyance only starts when you're at or below 20% of your current max HP. So, at level 1 (10 HP), you have to drop to 2 HP for it to happen. No matter your level or max HP, second-level Critical Annoyance still happens at 1 HP left. In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the music changes once you reach low health. It's less annoying than it is catchy, though. The Mario & Luigi series has no critical noise, but the Bros will have exhausted idle animations. In an instance of KO annoyance, if one brother hits zero HP, the other will have to dodge attacks while holding them, which adds a noticeable delay to their moves. Super Mario Galaxy has this for a low battery warning for the Wii Remote. Over long play sessions, expect to hear that beeping sound and see that red battery meter incessantly. Although not in relation to a life meter, Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit have a warning beep if you were 5th place or lower (in Super it only played during the final lap) and would keep playing until the race ended or you moved up the ranks. Coming in 5th or lower costs you a life, so it does somewhat act like a low life warning. Luigi's Mansion: When his health is low there is an annoying heartbeat sound, and whenever you get hit, Luigi cries out in agony. Also, pressing A normally has Luigi call out, "Mario?". As his health lowers, he sounds increasingly scared ("M-M-Mario?"). Luigi's Mansion 3: When Luigi's health gets low the music is completely muted and replaced with a two-tone sound that also makes the Joy-Con vibrate.

Your character will scream out in pain and start panting heavily if their health drops below 25 points (unless it's Doom Slayer), in addition to edges of screen turning red. Pain scream can actually be heard by other players, informing them about your critical condition. This gets particularly amusing/annoying with B.J. Blazkowicz, because his passive Regeneration ability*automatically heals him up to the nearest increment of 25 combined with his scream being the longest and the loudest in the game can lead to situations, when his health is dropped below 25 HP, triggering the scream, he regenerates up to 25 HP, takes minor damage, which triggers another scream, regenerates again, until he gets a health pick up or dies. At least panting can be turned down or turned off in options.

The beeping exists in-universe as well, and the party express their annoyance at it near the start of Chapter 4. It turns out to have a good reason for existing, though: if the warning goes ignored, which a villainous pair do with their own combination, it means you're about to explode.

The evolutionary reason is that babies that made these cries were far more likely to survive than ones who failed to get their caregivers' attention. The reason why nails on a blackboard is so irritating is that it's close in frequency to a baby's cry. People hope to hear a baby start crying right after birth to show that it's breathing properly. Not so much of an annoyance as much of something that's surely going to get your attention, but the loud, prolonged meow of cat breeds such as the Siamese are thought to trigger the same areas of the brain as a baby crying; through selective breeding, humans managed to create an animal which can get humans to pay attention to it in the same way a baby needing attention does, intentionally or not!

Critical Annoyance / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: Low health. In earlier games, it even screwed up the cries of the monster you were sending out, since the channels overlapped. This beeping got turned into a song which plays in that situation in the fifth generation. Starting in PokÃ©mon X and Y, the beeping only plays for a second before stopping. Another such sound is the poison alert. Prior to Gen V, a poisoned PokÃ©mon would take damage as you walked around the overworld. Whenever they lost health, a sound similar to a muffled machine gun would play, accompanied with a visual distortion every couple of steps. Naturally, when overworld poison damage was removed as a mechanic, the noise went with it.note In Generation III and earlier, the PokÃ©mon in question would even faint after enough steps. In Generation IV, immediately before this principle was discontinued, it will instead cure itself of poison at 1 HP. In PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus, when you take damage in the overworld, black ink surrounds the screen borders, but when you're close to blacking out, the ink turns red and an alarm plays.

This cannot be turned off, although fortunately it goes away after your Deflector Shields have regenerated a bit... assuming your shield subsystem isn't too badly damaged, that is. Wing Commander 1 also has alternate music that plays during combat when the player's fighter is badly damaged. The different ports call it either "You're Severely Damaged," "Floundering," or "Time to Eject." It's a repetitive, discordant "Psycho" Strings melody, as the SNES version demonstrates.

The drowning music gets louder and more frantic as time goes on until he dies, gets a bubble or resurfaces. This is usually accompanied by numbers appearing over his head to indicate how much time he has left. And given his Super Drowning Skills, the drowning music always plays for a short and disturbing time until air is gotten. 'Ding' noises are heard at intervals before this happens, which is useful because Sonic's Oxygen Meter isn't actually visible.

Critical Annoyance / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2: The HUD will display a blinking red cross around the health meter when the player's health is under half their maximum, and gets larger the closer they are to death. The game also has an inversion, where the same effect (albeit solid white) will appear when overhealed. "Alert! Our last Control Point is being captured!" and all variants thereof for all of the various mission types. The "Last Control Point" one is especially bad, since in 5-point Control maps, the last point (which is always just outside the defending players' spawn) usually can be solo-capped in only a few scant seconds. So if someone isn't already getting them off of it by the time the alert sounds, it's probably too late anyway. The Announcer's various alerts are so annoying that some players will use her to troll the enemy by repeatedly dropping or picking up the intelligence, stepping on or off the control point when there's no opposition, or triggering the "Overtime!" glitch on servers that have it enabled. In Mann Versus Machine, the various "[Class] is dead!" responses can be this if your team gets overrun. The pinging noise that plays if you're playing Medic and enabled the option for teammates to auto-call for healing also applies, alongside said teammates manually calling for you to heal them.

Critical Annoyance / int_d4f6f3fb	comment	F-Zero: In the original F-Zero (1990), you need to be above a particular rank as you cross the finish line, with the required rank getting higher with every lap (starting at 15 for the first lap and topping off at 3 for the final one). If you're at the minimum rank or lower, regardless of what lap you're on, a warning beep starts to play, and if you aren't at the minimum rank or higher as you cross the finish line, or if you fall to 20th place, you die. In F-Zero X and F-Zero GX, a similar klaxon sound is played when your energy is running low, and gets faster as your energy gets lower.

It was even worse if you inputted the invincibility code, because it basically triggered the low health flash all the frigging time. The only reason that didn't become famous for triggering epileptic fits (particularly since flashing red is the most likely way to do it) is because of The Problem with Licensed Games.

Fair enough considering the perilous HP loss that accompanies periods of starvation, but it does mean a very noisy immediate future while you trek to the nearest Moongate or food-producing town, or more likely, just wander incessantly until your whole party is dead and Lord British rescues you from the void.

This text would also appear flashing across the screen the team was using to direct the battle. Now, if the message was "Victory Imminent", this would be the show's Most Wonderful Sound — but having "Defeat Imminent" blasted all over their efforts turned more than one team into a catatonic mess.

If you get yourself into a fight with multiple enemies and don't have any energy potions at hand, then prepare to see the "You're exhausted" message a lot.

Critical Annoyance / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: The series has this in almost every game. In Metroid, once Samus' health hits about 16 points, her suit begins beeping dua-dua-dua-dua-dua-dua-dua-dua. Run out of health and it explodes. In Metroid II: Return of Samus, a mellow alarm starts once Samus' energy drops below 50. As your shield energy gets lower, the low-health beeping sound will get gradually faster the closer it gets to zero. Then Super Metroid brought it down to 30 before starting the same sound from the first one again. The suit's alarm is also what reminds the mutated Baby Metroid that the thing whose energy it's siphoning is actually Samus. In the Metroid Prime Trilogy, the Energy Low chime first started at 30, then gets gradually higher with every energy tank you collect, culminating to the sound starting when you're on your last energy tank. It was also accompanied by a big orange light in Samus' HUD, as were all the Item Low indicators. Metroid: Other M scales this back to just having Samus pant heavily when at critical energy, audible through the Wii Remote speaker.
