I like how Half Life 2 uses sound of the Affect category. At the end of the battle, there's this intense (very layered) "final note". It is functional in the sense that it signifies the end of the battle with the chopper (and that the immediate thread is over).

If you mean the horror-ish sound that would freak me out if it happened right at the same time a fast zombie, or worse a skinned one, ran by, then yeah.. never realised that one...
