Could you link to an example of a doom tone?
Not a link, but many (most) David Lynch movies/shorts have a low background drone that is discomforting in an otherwise normal scene. It often changes tone with shot changes giving the impression that impending physical danger is approaching or receding but never comes. More than almost any other director, his movies make me “feel” a particular way (mostly uncomfortable).

#156“Expectancy violations (e.g., harmonic, rhythmic, and/or melodic violations) are strongly correlated to the onset of musical frisson, such that some level of violated expectation may be a prerequisite.” Interesting. The Spotify playlist didn't do much for me, but when I think of a couple moments in songs that always give me chills, they all feature that pattern: Nightwish, Ghost Love Score , Wacken 2013 @ 9:22, affec…
I suppose that's also how songs wear out with time and/or repeated listens. Fittingly, any frisson seems to be the first to go. I'll contribute Stellenbosch University Choir's rendition of Say Something (by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera). The arrangement capitalizes on the choir's dynamic range; by remaining relatively soft throughout, the sudden loud, tutti passages (1:38 & 3:51) have great effect. https:…
The interesting bit is that many European languages have converged on the same juxtaposition of the lexemes pop>choir>, with the former consistently being a loanword from English. That is, there are lots of search results to be found by translating literally to terms like popchor (German), popkoor (Dutch), поп-хор (several Slavic languages), or popcoro (several Romance languages), plus hyphen and space variations.
