So this was bugging me ever since I started playing Shadows of the Damned. The menu confirmation sound and when you open doors sounded familiar to me.

Sometime through my play through I figured it out. That sound is entirely from Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 and 3 come to mind. Which makes sense to me because of Akira Yamaoka being involved in this.

Anyone else catch this? Or am I dead wrong?

Yep noticed it aswell instantly in the Quick Look but couldn't put my finger on exacly where it came from. First thing that came to mind was Resident Evil 4/5 but Silent Hill makes way more sense now that you say it.

That is some Silent Hill sound effects.

it does kinda sound like silent hill judging from the quick look, haven't played it yet, but i sure want to.

I don't know about you guys, but Killer7 immediately came to mind when I heard the menu sounds. It's not the same sound, but it reminded me of it.

Yup.  Its the Silent Hill menu sound.  As a fan  it caught my ear immediately.   The "Darkness" sound  is also very familiar sounding.

@the_hiro_abides: Thank you! I made a post about this the other day because it was driving me nuts. Now I can stop thinking about this -_-;;

@Fobwashed: No problem.

It seems rare to hear sounds used repeatedly across different games. Seems like it only happens in sequels. Except the Wilhelm Scream.
