gate opening sounds ? QUESTION

Recommended Posts

hi guys,

 

i have a question:

 

i was in a military base ( the one south of the nw airfield ) and entered the building with the red circle on the map ( not one of the barracks ) , and looted the first floor. after that, i got up into the second floor and looted the room.

 

so far so good, but suddenly i heard something that sounds like opening a gate, or a metal door.

i was alerted and got into the position where the melee weapons spawn, so i would be able to shoot the person that would maybe come up the stairs ( i found a M4 at the nw airfield ) i waited for at least 20 minutes ( i heard these sounds over and over again, sometimes louder, sometimes quieter ) but nothing happened. so i thought screw it, and ran outside, m4 in aiming position, but i have not seen anyone. so i just ran away, hoping the person would not shoot me :)

as i was at the deer stand to the east, i observed the military base with my ACOG optics, but there was no movement.

 

but the weird thing is that i never heard these "gate sounds" before, neither opening a door ( no sound ), nor a gate ( no sound ) nor the metal doors of the building i were inside ( also no sound ).

 

oh and i searched trough the barracks before leaving, but nobody was inside them

 

is this a bug ? or was somebody in that base and i just didnt see him ? but i closed every door of my building, but "he" didnt came inside ?

 

i hope you can answer this,

 

yours sincerely

rotteck

Sometimes you just hear sounds, my friends and me sometimes hear people reloading or eating/drinking when we know no one is even near. So this might also is what you hear. And I don't know if this is intend from the devs or its just sounds bugging.

I'm afraid the gate sound is part of the 'ambience', like the church bells and 'hooot' noises.

 

I hope this will be changed.

It was a random sound.

Sounds are currently a mess (they were simply imported), and sometimes random sounds disturb players.

They are reworking sound completely, but there's yet no ETA for the basic fixes (like rabbits doing zed sounds, random opening cans, etc). They have a new "sound guy", but I don't know if this is a priority now :)

Yeah, the gate is part of the ambience track and it annoys me too.

What Chauz is talking about (above) is actually a glitch, which sometimes makes player sounds such as drinking, eating, shooting, talking heard globally across the server but what you're talking about are the ambient sounds.

Also, why do the bunnies growl and hiss? Scared the crap out of my first time I heard it. I was running passed it, but hadn't seen it, so it sounded like something attacking me from behind.

Essentially none of the new sounds created for the Standalone are actually in the game yet.

Most of them just have placeholders from similar objects (which is why melee weapons sound like gunshots when they miss).

Rabbits currently just use zombie noises.

As stated it is part of the ambiance track, zombie sounds are often part of this :P  

 

Always gets me :/

Yeah I feel like the gate sound is the most frequent. Yesterday I ran from 2 zombies and since then I heard the zombie sound every 20 seconds for like half an hour. Very disturbing :p

Unfortunately there are no environmental sounds like that. I wish we could hear doors opening, but who knows, maybe in a few years?

i actually find it a good ambient sound.

it may be somewhat out of place, as not too many gates will open all by themselves, but it just adds that sense of creepiness to the game, even though it wasnt even supposed to...
