They put so many ambient hissy-scrapey-shuffly-thumpy-growly back-
ground noises into the game, that it keeps you jumping all the time.
Doors hissing open and closed, steam suddenly jetting, damaged metal
panels randomly falling and clattering on the floor, cascades of sparks
that for just a second look like the beginning of a demon teleporting
into the room, fans that sound like feet softly padding towards you...
and always behind you, or just out on your periphery of vision. And
just about the time you decide to ignore some sound as probably an
ambient noise... heh. The id sound team are a buncha mean, ornery,
evil barstids!  ;-P
