Quite so, it does. I remember an Assault level (I think it was by CraccoBoy) which used a song with its rhythm made out of a repeating clock sound. It really made me feel threatened by the passage of time and so I acted fast, perhaps a bit too fast, not taking enough time for deciding on a strategy with the other players of my team.
As for an SP example, the final level of The Resurrection of Devan Shell episode 3: The Battle for Carrotus is a great example with its perfectly chosen music, Panic. It really gives that awesome "oh my gosh it's the final level and things are going really bad I think I'm about to die" feel. It just makes the level seem even harder than it really is - which has an impact on the player's actions.
So sometimes stressing the player is a good thing if you know how to do it in a good way.
