Sound Effects Associated with Characters

So I'm relistening to WA...for like the 8th time from the beginning...and I noticed something interesting. When we first meet Latch and Scratch in the "Remains of Eastern Bay", crows are heard cawing right after Scratch speaks. The crows are heard again when she's beating up "Charles" when Saul's out on the rooftop after first discovering the Mall.

As a poet at heart, I cannot help but feel like it's symbolism to have crows (which typically symbolize death or triumphing over death...or guides of the underworld) cawing as Scratch, a character who usually brings death and destruction on her heels, speaks.

Then it got me wondering if there are any other symbolic sound effects associated with any other characters? Has anyone else noticed these types of things?
