So in my games, I don't often use sound fx. In Call of Cthulhu I occasionally showed some scenes from film a film version of a HPL story. So I made playlists but most often I would put on a bunch of happy pop jazz on the start of a game in the real world. Possibly some classical or some jazz for more low key investigation music might be a good one. The final one was all darkwave ambient mythos inspired tracks which are pretty good for any dungeon environment too.

I have a few cd compilation of Weimar-era music from Germany that I like to use for CoC soundtracks. I've also got a bit of French stuff as well. My wife has a bunch of Shanghai music from the same periods; someday I'll convince her to run CoC set in Shanghai...

That first piece, O Fortuna, is the opening of Carl Orff's cantata Carmina Burana. It's an amazing piece of music.
