i remember when i played the first time after SH2, i was kind of on the fence about finishing the game until the otherworld transition in the school. that horrible noise coming from the generator, the new textures completely changing the feel of the environments, the intense score from Yamaoka. that's when i was totally hooked.
one of my favorite rooms in the game is the room you find the Rock Drill in because it just has this horribly creepy score for no reason. and then you turn on the draw bridge and activate the machinery and there's this awful droning as you run across the bridge to old silent hill. of course you rationalize it as it's all from Alessa having a fear of the sounds of the machines but it's still really unnerving no matter how much you understand it because of how unnatural it is.
