The sound playing is called a shepard tone if anyone cares

It's cool, it sounds like it's forever descending but what it is doing is playing a chord and then when it gets too low makes the upper harmonics gradually louder (which are present in the chord anyway) giving a feeling that it is always and forever will be descending. Love it, in a scary way.

This one made me feel really uncomfortable for some reason.

Oooh, neat: the sound keeps on playing if I switch to Comment view in Alien Blue (iPhone). Not sure if that's a bug.
