Sound plays an important role in setting ambience, and animal noises in particular are a common way of establishing a place's character or a scene's tone. A certain set of common noises, in particular, is often used to establish that a given place is intimidating, spooky, or potentially dangerous. Typically, the animals used in this role are ones that have both strong negative cultural connotations and distinctive or loud calls. | |

Stardew Valley: If you leave one of your coop or barn animals outside overnight, there's a chance they'll be attacked or killed by wild animals, signified by howling sounds heard during the night. There's also strange animal sounds heard when it rains, which many players have found creepy. | |

Young Frankenstein: Parodied alongside other horror movie tropes. As Frederick, Inga and Igor cross the forest to reach the Frankenstein castle, a wolf howls in the distant night. Inga, afraid, asks if it's a werewolf. Igor, thinking she's asking where the wolf is, points in its direction. | |

The Howling (1977): On her first night in Drago, Karyn is deeply unsettled by the sound of howling from the woods near her house. Her husband doesn't much notice or care at first, but Karyn is unnerved that the howling continues night after night, sometimes sounding as though it's right outside their house. Roy tries to reassure Karyn it's probably just a coyote or even an owl, but she believes it's a wolf despite them being uncommon to the area. She later begins to suspect the howling is not from an ordinary wolf but a werewolf. As Karyn and Chris are fleeing from Drago as it burns, Karyn is horrified that she can still hear howling, meaning at least some of the werewolves survived. | |

Fear the Moon: Jane is unsettled when she hears something howling in the woods, telling her friends it sounded like a wolf. James tries to reassure her that wolves haven't been common to the area for around 200 years and that it was probably a bobcat, adding that they sometimes sound like a screaming person. Then Jack chips in that it could've been the Wolfman. | |

The Nameless Offspring: Henry only once hears the ghoul-human hybrid's voice in the form of a long ululation that begins low and muffled and ends in a shrill fury. It is a sound that leaves him no doubt that the stories about the secret of Tremoth Hall he'd been told in his youth are true. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Stare Master": An owl hoots ominously when the Crusaders venture into the dangerous Everfree Forest. Afterwards, unidentified animals call and warble in the background for most of the forest sequence. "Putting Your Hoof Down": When Rarity and Pinkie visit Fluttershy's home to find that it has become an Old, Dark House with boarded up windows, an unseen wolf is heard howling in the distance. "Sleepless in Ponyville": During the weekend forest camping trip, Scootaloo finds herself gripped by terror at the idea of spending the night in the forest and spends both nights startling at a variety of intimidating noises, with wolf howls punctuating creaking branches and blowing wind. |

The Lorax (2012): The place the Once-ler lives is framed as pretty unsettling, because it's out of town (and, in Thneedville, it's against the law to leave town), and it's polluted so grass doesn't grow there and it's smoggy. Some crows can be seen and they caw ominously, and they're stated to be the only birds that sing there. | |
