What is the creepy radio sound, and what's it's meaning?

[KINETIK]

Who has ever heard the creepy radio sound the the demolished City 17? Well you haven't heard the whole sound effect. This sound is creepy enough from what you hear, but the full audio is just... scary! People think that G-Man is behind this. Some think about other possibilities. In my opinion, I think is is the work of G-Man.

Here's why: If you look at the screens attached to the buildings in City 17 you would usually see Dr. Breen (going on about something stupid most likely) But, in d1_canals there is a flashing screen in the distance that you can see static and Breen on. But for a split-second, you can see a red flash with G-Man on it. If he is in electronic systems like the radio and the screens, he is most likely behind it. But if G-Man is behind the sound, what IS the sound? A secret message? A thereat? Who knows?

I would like to hear your thoughts in the comments section. What do you tink the sound is, and do you think that the G-Man is behind it? Let me know!

I've gone through this audio file with every filter and edit imaginable, there's nothing special about this "song." it just sounds creepy.

I swear back when i played this masterpiece and heard this sound i jumped out of my seat when i saw gman.

I remember hearing this sound come from a mod in Garry's Mod, and when I played HL2 and heard this, I remembered it. EDIT: I think this came from a little tv somewhere in the city's ruins, and it was showing the G-Man in a wasteland like area before it cut out, so, is it coming from the screens or the little tv? Or was it a coinsidence that the tv cut out when the audio did?

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it but possibly the most remarkable thing about this sound is that the same "song" seems to appear in the movie 28 Days Later.

I've just extracted the "clear" voice by substracting the music+voice part from just-music part. There's nothing like "gordon" or "everyone is dead". Just listen yourself: http://valet2.com/sounds/hl2-radio1/

Our imagination can bring us to the stuff that doesn't exist. It's incorrect to live on based on such theories.

I just know that this sound appears at the end credits of a movie which name I don't know, but I am all the time trying to know if someone tells me the name of that movie to see if the movie itself could explain something about Half-Life.

Correct, when the brain doesnt understand something it may try to construct a meaning for it. This scenario is something psycologists call Mondegreen[en.wikipedia.org] which is a rather similar to Pareidolia.[en.wikipedia.org]

Brian Brushwood and Jason Murphy did a short video on why people hear (or claim to hear) satanic messages in reversed music which is pretty much the same thing:

That song's title is "That Long Train Ride" and it's a remix by DJ Dain. It's about time we stopped spreading myths and started giving credit. It wasn't in the HL2 beta either, for those wondering. And Turambar was right, it's a sample from one of the Zero-G sample collections, which HL games used extensively for their music and ambience.

this song is on spotify by the name of "hunter down"

I was playing Gmod with a postal 1 reduz song mod and as it turns out, the same extract from that distorted trumpet song is also in postal 1, just slower
technically the distorted trumpet song appears in half life 2 as well, just faster.

[raymu]

you can't say that postal used it after half life 2 because postal was released 1997 btw. Not talking about Redux.

Ah yes, I love hearing the radio music at 3am
