War of the Worlds Battle Ambience

It is mid day, rain is starting to pour and thunder begins to rumble. At least you hope it's thunder. While traveling through a forest you come across a cave. The cave is deep but you go in to get out of the rain. Shortly after getting settled, you begin to hear noises far off in the distance.
You hear a military presence somewhere firing at what must be a machine. Then you hear a horn. There is no denying it now. You hunker down into the cave, and wait, hoping that it will all go away. Shortly after, you hear the screams of hundreds of people and a siren.
A nearby town is being attacked and your heart sinks. The barrage of the military continues for a few moments. You hope the military isn't obliterated. Suddenly you hear running, and then footsteps in the wet, muddy forest near the mouth of the cave. Immediately you feel at ease, you think "They must have destroyed it".
You are about to get up and run to them, thinking of nothing else but to get back home. You stop dead in your tracks as soon as you hear the eerie, nightmarish sound of the machine walking. "They didn't destroy it, they were regrouping, retreating or leading it away". You Immediately hide behind a rock formation in the cave and hug the cave floor. This is it, you are trapped and at the mercy of whatever happens next.
The sound of the machine stops and all that you hear are the radios of the military and a tank getting in position, accompanied by the heavy rain and thunder. You get startled when you hear the machine blair the horn louder than the thunder. The war is right out side. You hear someone yell "FIRE!".
You have no choice but to hear the death and destruction outside the cave. The sounds of their own ammo, bouncing of the machines' shields and back to where they stand. The sound of the ray, buzzing followed by explosions while priority alerts on their radios go off. Meanwhile the machine blows its horn again, as if to taunt or strike fear into them, to humiliate them.
One final explosion and all falls silent. Nothing but the twisted metal and scrap remain as you hear bits and pieces of equipment and vehicles fall, glass shatter and the crackle of flames. Drowned out by the now moving machine which has finished exterminating what hope you had. You stay in the cave, frozen with fear and shock. The tripod is moving away now, using its ray in the distance to finish off those who ran.
As the machine moves further away, rain falls heavier than before. You are still afraid to move. Even further away now you hear the horn again. You feel at ease knowing that it is far from you, but at what cost? You don't know which direction, and what you will see when you leave the cave.
All you know now, is that the sounds of war, death, the dreaded horn and eerie sounds from the machine will now be embedded into your mind forever. The images and thoughts of the machines and what they bring when you hear them, the fear and anxiety with forever remain. That is however, if you survive.

[@ReveredDead]

What is nuts is you can hear the front lines coming closer, then on top of you and then moving away.

[@pxtshxp]

Sent me chills when I heard the horn and a soldier said "FIRE!"

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

kind of terrifying that you hear for what I know, an entire Division getting wiped out in 30 seconds. and probably also half a Battalion before that and at the end the Tripod uses it's horn again to signal that there's more targets

[@mclovin2408]

It’s probably the remaining division soldiers who made a break for it when all their armor and vehicles were destroyed.

[@jtblcksheep3376]

That picture makes it look like the tripods are disco-dancing.

[@basicwhitebread9619]

The few seconds of silence before the horn and then the attack was so cool. Like a single moment of tension before the fighting starts

[@L0stEngineer]

"For a time, I believed that humanity had been swept out of existence, and I stood in that cave alone, the last man left alive". H.G. Wells, the War of the Worlds.

[@mclovin2408]

This is probably the best War of The Worlds ambience I've heard so far, and also one of the only ones to include a heat ray sound effect. War of The Worlds aliens are the superior aliens.

[@paracuna]

Will have to disagree, the Qu from all tomorrows are definitely more superior

[@lunchbox1553]

@@paracuna Can you link your example? I'd love to hear what could possibly be better than this.

[@paracuna]

@@lunchbox1553 the Qu took humans and altered their DNA just for fun, they put humans on a planet with such strong gravity they evolve to be squashed into a blob fish and have their limbs become useless, one of the human subspecies was forced to be on a planet with low gravity, so they had to evolve long necks and even a fall could shatter their neck bone, but the worst of all, was what they did with the people who fought against their invasion and actually fought out 2 invasions before being defeated during the 3rd, they altered their DNA to become a living filtering sewage system for their species for millions of years until the Qu died out and humanity was able to heal and evolve again, one of the species was also turned into antelope like creature, but retained all the consciousness and memories, they were used as living memory holders, they wanted to create, but due to their bodies being contorted into a way they cannot hold anything, they just sing into nothing, after the Qu are gone, there was go one to take care of them and all the knowledge was gone forever. I highly suggest checking out "All tomorrows" it's imo one of the best works of sci-fi with alien invasion, there is an audio book on youtube and its just as good! P. S. : sorry for a paragraph, it's just that there's a lot of things the Qu did and it's kinda hard to shorten it lol.

[@ZERARCHIVE2023]

Tentacle smashing your windows, coming right at you. You try to run away, you're going for the basement. The tripods walks-by when you're hald-way through the stairs, your house still holds up, but you ? You have nowhere to hide, you can jump and break both of your legs and live just a few secondes of agony. Crawling down, hoping to fall in your basement in time. Or, accept the faith, you where caught by surprise by a super predator. You cannot hide, cannot fight back, you cant go upstairs, a tentacle with a seringue is approaching you, you close your eyes...

[@greekfreak0075]

Then detonate the nuke in the basement ​@ZERARCHIVE2023

[@zuvingativo1710]

what made me more scared about this is the way humanity is completelly hopeless... nothing we try Works, no weapon, no tech... How is said in the movie "its not a battle between diferent countries, its a extermination"

[@theengineer2127]

“as the battle grew strong and we fought hard we were outmatched by there heat ray” some soldier on the battlefield

[@xpomp09_]

6:38, I imagined a very epic battle at that minute...

[@theonewookiee]

This is so underrated, I love this Ambience!

[@jaredeaves4543]

Now if there was also a version with the 1953 sounds in addition to this, you'd have both of the good WotW movies done.

[@doom7ish]

Oh yes. Yes please.

[@GaboliaGames]

Tripod: ill pick you up and make redweed food of u😈 Me: But i was rooting for u guys at the whole time Tripod: ur crazy, pls go away ur scaring me Me: wanna hug? Tripod: NO! I SAID GO AWAY!

[@BuckBlaziken]

While this movie may have been a little cheesy at times, it’s ambience and dreadful atmosphere rocks

[@mclovin2408]

If you mean the 2005 movie, the only 2 aspects I found as cheesy was Robby wanting to fight the aliens without putting his sisters survival first, and the scene where it was raining clothes. But at the same time Robby’s house was leveled, after he saw rays house get destroyed, he then tried to save people on the ferry, which probably all died, I’m sure that combination would make anyone vengeful.

[@brianrigsby7900]

This was such an eerie experience. Great job!😂
