Articles
- Category:Sound System — how sound works in Source

- Sound sensitive trigger — how to trigger an event based on the loudness
- Startup Music — one way to add music to a mod's title screen (alternately, put it in a Menu Background Map)
AI sounds
AI sounds are not audible to the player; they are purely an AI construction. They can be placed in-map with the ai_sound entity.
Materials
To specify the set of sounds for a custom material (the noises produced in response to hits, scrapes, etc), see Material surface properties.
Notes
- To play music, use Hammer Sound Browser to search for keyword
music. - Many entities can have sounds assigned to them. For example, prop_door_rotating can be assigned sounds for opening, closing, swinging, being locked, and being unlocked. See the individual entities for details.
