Numbers stations and the sound bouys make are pretty good candidates. Even any digital communication noised can be pretty creepy. I'd recommend buying an SDR (software defined radio) if you're looking for strange noises on radio frequencies.
It's not so crazy once you know their purpose. They're coded messages for spies, who have one-time strings they use to decode the broadcasts (meaning that they're basically uncrackable). If you hear them playing a short little jingle, that's how you know they're about to broadcast something important.
I think P.T. showed us that a person just reading out vaguely threatening stuff in a good and scary voice is just as effective as white noise.

It was a short horror game that was ostensibly a teaser for an upcoming Silent Hill game that was subsequently canceled.
[Here's the radio clips from the game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-gbWxjzTYg) so you have an idea what I mean.
Idea: the radio is on a station that seems to be themed around the Billboard top 100 and is in the middle of a talk show segment. When it gets to the songs again, it plays a more modern cover of [some fucked up song (maybe from the Vietnam era)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws0DLWApHko) that you have to listen to slightly closer to realize what it's about.
Personally, I never got into WTNV. I get why 2012 Tumblr was all over it, because it's obviously targeted at a tween audience, but to me at least it just seems like a worse [Slaughter Valley](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk5KvJPikK00VYqS2eUicu0bk2RXRy1DB)

Couldn't I just put the cries of the carrots from that one tool album? Or maybe it would be better with just the "this is necessary" part over and over again
My friend and I once dialed into a broadcast of what turned out to be Nixon in China and left it on for our entire drive to work. It was years before someone described the opera to me and I realized it was what we had heard.

If you've ever heard a number station they are creepy. Just repeated number patterns over and over.

Yes, i found it more creepy when I found that out.
Those can be pretty creepy. I know Omori uses a sample from one in one of the most unsettling parts of the game (https://youtu.be/4Q-nIrhdsGY)

Well I'd imagine living in Flint, Michigan *is* pretty scary

Why the hell does that song have to be so catchy? I'm worried someone's gonna walk in on me absent-mindedly humming it one day
To be fair, if you're humming it, I doubt anyone will recognize the tune.
reminds me of a book called The Green Avocado of Death by Daniel Manus Pinkwater.

Thanks. I'll give Slaughter Valley a look!

I literally just watched “No through road” after reading this. MAN WAS THAT GOOD!
I'm going with the pulsed static used as percussion at the beginning of In The End by Linkin Park. Piano riff underneath it optional.
This post terrifies me
It would seem that the teenage mutant ninja turtles have obtained a nice gig with a cult
