The mechanical sounds in Ghostface's chase music are supposed to be printers

Especially with older models, printers tend to be very noisy, just like ghostface's chase music. Listening to the noise a printer makes while pushing out another paper and listening to ghostface's chase theme, you'll hear that those mechanical sound effects sound oddly similar--they're both a monotonous drones with equally-spaced short breaks interrupting at constant intervals.
This is actually a pretty cool nod to his lore. In DBD's version of the story, Ghostface worked at a newspaper in addition to his part-time gig as a murderer, and he would use his position as a correspondent to write articles about his own crimes. Obviously, newspapers need printers (they're practically symbolic of each other) and he used the newspaper to spread fear and panic. So it's a nice nod to his lore that he's still spreading fear and panic with printers, by having them feature prominently in his terror radius ambience and chase music.

Oh wow, I didn't think about that, but that's pretty cool. I heard the same about Trickster, he has screams hidden in his music, just like his lore.

Right, now the printer chase music makes sense. I was wondering why they chose such a weird theme LMAOO. thank you for clearing that up

Yeah, Trickster was the first one that actually suggested to me that chase music could have some specific lore significance, instead of just being generally associated with a killer.
