can somone explain the sound bug to me?(ammo/zombie)

[commanderbash 102]

the sound of reloading, zombies attacking, ammo being emptied, single foot steps. I know its a glitch, but does it indicate anything?

are these sounds that are happening some where in the server or just randomly generated?

if they are happening, are they within my network bubble (~2.5km)?

is there a way to stop it? (i think someone said something about a flush command?)

 

thanks in advance for the info

AFAIK the background looping noises are not an indicator of anything.  Neither are breaking twigs, bird-escape-flapping or the deep thud you can hear from main screen that sounds like a plastic bin slamming / far away gunshot.  These are just ambient/glitch noises.

 

They may be happening on the server, i'd occasionally hear parts of a person eating rice, or what sounded like someone scrunching on some beans rather close, but the sound cut out halfway, but i doubt they're within a given range.

 

I know of no way to stop these sounds getting to you.  I've learned to block them out, but that may result in me overlooking slight but real danger cues.  A friend and I frequently test our ability to detect an infiltrator (the other) that is trying to blend their own noise into these sounds to creep up on a static position.  I know he's coming and it's still real difficult to distinguish between him and the stutter even if i 'did' hear him.

 

However, to eliminate some visual bugs:  TAB will allow you to see on login (when you get greeted with a cream blank screen) and going into ESC>configuration>video will eliminate any blur effect on login AND from taking damage/shock while in-game.

 

haven't actually tried but configuration>audio may work in a similar way, or may not.  Test for us :D

 

wait wait wait, is this what you've been hearing? 

at least you've got a great taste in music ;) Edited June 24, 2014 by q.S Sachiel

If I remember correctly, they indicate a rabbit or bird nearby.

I read somewhere that those noises occur since the AI and sounds of those animals are not done yet, so those random noises are ... bird singing and rabbit munching :)
