List of Half-Life: Alyx Soundscapes
Here is a list of soundscapes for use in Half-Life: Alyx. 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. Some sounds that are prominent when you use the playsoundscape command may not be so overbearing in a custom soundscape.
Please note that HL:A features some soundscapes carried over from Half-Life 2 that may or may not have proper sounds associated with them.
