Types of Sound
• Two types
– Ambient
– Cued
• Ambient sounds are continuous
– While you are within in a certain radius
of its origin
– These are considered today
• Cued sounds require something to
happen to make them occur
– Such as a gunshot
– We will consider these later

Commentary
• Like lighting sounds default to
certain properties
• These may or may not be right
• In our case the sound was too loud
• In came well outside the building
• Like light there are circles that are
shown about the limits of audibility
• Also like lights we can change the
properties
– Use the properties in scene tab

Finally
• Not too much to sounds
• They add substantial realism to your
level
• They are similar to point lights
– They have a volume and radius of effect
– The icon is a speaker instead of a light
bulb
