Not necessarily the most "intimidating," but rather the most "eerie," ie, the most strange, unsettling, bone-chilling. I think it would have to be the spotted hyena. If you doubt me, go to the 4:55 mark of the following video and watch for yourself.

To me, foxes and cats make weird eerie noises.

Wow. That video was difficult to watch. The sounds the hyena was making at the end chilled me to the bone. Hope it won't keep me awake tonight! That's the creepiest animal sound I've ever heard.

The "laughing" and "whooping" sounds hyenas make I also find to be very eerie.

THESE: What animal sounds like a woman screaming?
Because of their wide range, large population and comfort in developed areas, red foxes are the most common animal described as making a sound like a woman screaming. Foxes, fishers, bobcats and cougars also make similar sounds.

I'd say screech owls.

I agree. And the sounds in the video were just the worst!

Wolves howling up here in MN is pretty eerie. If you’re out in the woods at night you can hear them pretty clearly.
