Nothing shows more contempt for the genre, the medium, and especially the audience than the presence of itermittent atmospheric music in found footage.
I'm serious.
Unless it's a supernatural horror where the premise is the entity emits a spooky sound when nearby, don't do it.
Have the confidence in your own moviemaking to let your work stand on its own. Have the respect for your audience to trust that they know what they signed up for, and that they therefore don't expect and don't want music. If you think your scariest moments won't scare me without freaky deaky sound effects, you either think you did a poor job or think I am so deficient in imagination and taste that I cannot be scared without it. Or both. STOP IT.
