List of L4D2 Soundscapes

Below is a list of soundscapes for use in Left 4 Dead 2.

An easy way of testing them is to use the playsoundscape console command, which includes limited searching for soundscape names so you shouldn't have to print out a copy of this list for reference. To stop the soundscapes use the stopsound console command to abruptly stop all sounds playing.

Note:Left 4 Dead 2 contains all soundscapes from Left 4 Dead, which are excluded from this list.

soundscapes_campaign1/Dead Center

Name	Description and Notes
fire.debris.metal	Somewhat distant metal crashes and straining, with the occasional sound of burning. This soundscape should be used with others, as the sound cuts in and out.
fire.debris.wood	Similar to the above, except with the sounds of wood collapsing and breaking instead of metal.
fire.debris.junk	Similar to the above, except with the sounds of generic rubble, glass and rocks(?) moving and falling around.
structure.groans	Pretty self-explanatory, occasional sounds of metal eerily groaning and straining. This soundscape should be used with others, as the sound cuts in and out.
mall.randomverbs	Very distant, echoing sounds of something small falling over.
c1m1.spawn	Constant soundscape of rooftop winds, distant birds and cicadas, and a raging fire not too far away.
c1m1.stairwell	Generic wind-humming, maybe from an AC or a vent.
c1m1.hotel.int.3rdfloorhall	Similar to the above, except the humming is quieter and there's a very frequent sound of wood/junk breaking and falling.
c1m1.hotel.int.3rdfloor	A loud, raging fire with metal groaning and breaking.
c1m1.hotelroom.exterior.fire	High winds, birds and cicadas, and a very close raging fire.
c1m1.hotelroom.2ndfloor	Very loud blazing inferno with wood breaking and rubble collapsing.
c1m1.storeroom.2ndfloor	Similar to the above, except the fire is slightly quieter and the metal groaning is louder.
c1m1.elevator.2ndfloor	Similar to the above, except the fire is even quieter and the metal straining is closer.
c1m1.stairwell.fire	Silence(?)
c1m1.hotelexterior.2ndfloor	Very close and frequent bird calls and cicadas, with the same high winds as before - probably in a windy, forested area. No fire, however.
c1m1.hotel.int.1stfloor	Nothing but a very loud fire and metal collapsing.
c1m1.hotel.int.1stfloor.lobby	A relatively quieter fire, but the debris sounds are more frequent, varied and louder (but not very loud) - everything between glass, debris and metal. Probably only a few rooms away from the fire.
c1m1.saferoom	Distant fire with a fluorescent/generator hum nearby, and metal groaning/debris breaking somewhere close.
c1m2.spawn	Somewhat quiet fluorescent/generator hum with a faint wind outside the door. No fire or debris, somehow.
c1m2.exterior.01	Noisy birds and cicadas right above the player, with faint gusts of wind blowing by. Very soothing. Could be used for anything between a small wooded area or a lively subtropical forest.
c1m2.stairwell	Generic wind-humming. Literally identical to c1m1.stairwell.
c1m2.streetalley	Similar to c1m2.exterior.01, except the birds and cicadas are muffled, quiet and echo-y, and the faint wind is louder.
c1m2.exterior.02	Similar to c1m2.exterior.01, but the faint wind is quieter - almost not even there. Just birds and cicadas.
c1m2.exterior.03	Similar to the above, except the wildlife is quiet and more distant.
c1m2.interior.01	Generic sound of air moving through a room, maybe from an AC unit or an open door. Very (almost absurdly) boring, more so than the sound of air moving should be.
c1m2.store.interior	The humming of a cooler or fluorescent light, and an annoying fly at position 1.
c1m2.safehouse	More air moving through a room, maybe some quiet machinery like a vending machine nearby.
c1m3.spawn	Even more air moving through a room, except with a fly at position 1.
c1m3.mall.interior1	More moving air, but louder and with a humming, like from an AC vent. Also some occasional, distant sounds like doors closing, small things falling down, etc. These are taken from "mall.randomverbs".
c1m3.mall.interior2	Similar to above, but the humming is gone completely and the air is lower-pitched and deeper. Almost like being underwater, except for the occasional "mall.randomverbs" ambient sounds in the distance.
c1m3.mall.hallway	Even more moving air. Identical to "c1m1.stairwell", except more "open", like in a bigger room.
c1m3.security	Looping 2-second sound of fluorescent humming, or maybe an old monitor humming.
c1m3.safehouse	Moving air with quietly humming machinery, literally identical to "c1m2.safehouse".
c1m4.spawn	Identical to above, except a little bit quieter.
c1m4.atrium.hallway	More quietly moving air coming from a vent.
c1m4.atrium.interior	Identical to "c1m3.mall.interior2".
c1m4.elevator.int	Similar to above, but without the "mall.randomverbs" ambient sounds, and the constant humming of machinery (like an elevator motor) at position 1.
