Use of Sound in Thriller/Horror Movies

In most thriller and horror films, sounds are used to build up tension and suspense as well as mysteriousness to the audience to make them feel curious, scared and frightened to what may come next in the scene. The music usually indicates that the climax/jump scares in horror movies is about to happen. For example:

The Insidious franchise. The music really builds up the tension and mysteriousness of the scene. Every time when a ghost is about to appear or the character is about to face something really frightening, the non-diegetic sound of sharp violins and strings are played to build up tension. Also, silence works really well in horror films as it makes the audience unaware of anything that is about to happen. They also use a lot of pleonastic sound to exaggerate and build up tension such as footsteps and door creaking. This creates a really good effect to the audience as the producer may include fake jumpscares by building up the sound to make the audience really scared but then discovered that nothing scary is happening in that scene at all.
