@pilotofwar Too bad the council never survived Sovereign's attack >.> (at least in one of my games)

@ukmaxi yeah, there are not many ways how to create an intimidating mechanical sound of an enormous machine. For me it sounds like robot whales :D

[BlueonGoldZ]

@fezan84 Really? Well, if that's the case, we need to torture them SLOWLY before killing them since they created that crappy form of 'music'.

in b4 someone makes a dubstep remix from mass effect reaper sounds

[pilotofwar]

Are these the strange sounds being heard all around the world, could the Reapers be coming? 0_o (Joking of course).

Meanwhile at the citadel: "Ah, yes. 'Reapers.' The immortal race of sentient starships, allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim."

Earth: ...

@190shepard Not really, there is a lot more resonance in the reapers than war of the world's tripod. Tripod's had a more mechanical sound.
