That escalating tension drone is permanently burned into the brain of anyone who watched TV around 2000. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's score by Keith and Matthew Strachan is legitimately one of the most effective pieces of psychological sound design ever put on television.
The "$100-$1,000 Questions" cue keeps things light, almost playful. Then the $8,000 tier starts layering in these low heartbeat pulses. By $16,000 it's all sustained dread. The "Final Answer" stings are pure Pavlovian anxiety.
Every win and lose cue for each tier is its own micro-composition. The whole album plays like a masterclass in using music to manufacture stress in real time. If you've ever felt your palms sweat watching a game show, this soundtrack is why.
