Place it just before a danger reveal, then follow it with Sudden Suspense as the threat is shown, letting the second sound carry the payoff. For a lighter scare, put it ahead of Nelson's Ha-Ha! so the joke lands after the false alarm.
Über diesen Sound
This short clip captures a Geiger counter clicking in a fast, insistent burst for just over three seconds, the kind of strong background reading that signals high radiation. It feels tense and alarming, turning an ordinary scene into something urgent and hazardous, with each rapid tick raising the sense that danger is close and rising.
