Ambient sounds (was: More ambiant sounds)

under review

Hi !

In the 1.13 update mojang added a lot of ambiant sounds underwater, wich make living / exploring underwater much more rich and pleasant.

I think they should go futher with this idea and add more ambiant sound outside water too, here are a few examples:

- Wind soun when high in the air

- Wind making noise with the leaves of the trees in forests

- Constant caves sounds underground (just like in the water)

- More sound coming form far away, maybe sounds of animals or even brids

    Il me semble avoir lu quelque part que le jeu n'a pas moyen de savoir quand tu es dans une caverne, rendant la troisième idée impossible...ai-je tort?

    Les sons de vent, par contre, ça, ça me dit bien

    Yes! Please port the cave noises from Java edition to Minecraft Bedrock.

    maybe a special block could be used to make some of the ambient sounds (like birds chirping, wave sounds or waterfall sounds) as an alternative if the full idea isn't able to be implemented.

    maybe each biome gets there own sounds, for example jungle biome has all kind of different birds chirping and like animals sounds.

    i think the cave sounds are super unnerving already! they definitely keep me ON MY TOES whenever i'm mining!! man, some of them are really... ...horrifying. especially when you know theres mobs nearby.

    Ambient sounds would also add a lot to the experience of exploring structures!

    • Nether Fortress- More spooky sounds
    • Woodland Mansion- Eerie sounds
    • Desert/Jungle Temple- Mystic Choir Chords
    • Village- Talking ambiance
    • etc.....

    The second idea could go further. While the winds blowing, trees, grasses and flowers should swing tenderly as they are in the real world, not only in forests, in order to build the atmosphere in Minecraft. Therefore, winds should blow everywhere. It’s applicable as you see what happens upon the kelp.

    Once I saw someone posted some ideas about ambient mobs, however, they are tend to be not interactive for players and no loots for them. On the other hand, I think that birds should join the game like parrots and the creatures underwater and also have thousands of colors.

    But the third idea is to make cave adventure more scary, though it isn’t mysterious as the caves should be. So it’s not required to be proposed.

    It wouldn’t have to be much either but the overworld really needs an ambiance overhaul. It gets kind of Erie in the game with this silent world. Sound adds a lot of deapth, and it wouldn’t have to be anything huge, just like some light wind blowing through trees and stuff, but nothing too overpowering. Just enough to make it more inviting.

    or like an a2 on a piano would suffice, I had to make a long, long mod for 1.13.2 to make more  ambient sounds.

    Mojang should make at least 1 ambient sound for every biome so it could be so immersive

    I genuinely don't know if this is even possible in procedurally generated areas. 

     

    Crashing waves & seagulls when close enough to the water. 

    Strong wind & crumbling rock when traveling high enough.

    Echoy water dripping in caves.

    Wind chimes in villages.

    Strong wind & vultures in the desert.

    Rustling leaves & birds in the forests.

    Splashing fish & rapids near rivers.

    Bubbly muffled sounds under water.

    Wind sounds at high altitudes/specific wind sounds for different biomes

    Birdsong in the morning

    Crickets in forests at night

    Fish splashing

    Frogs and insects in swamp biomes

    Rockfall sounds in mountain biomes

    Bushes/ferns rustling in taiga (could be incorporated with foxes)

    Ice creaking in iceberg oceans and tundra biomes

    Dripping water in caves

    Frankly every biome should have a set of unique sounds. It would be nice to have some kind of indicator when you move from one biome to another.

    I really want them to add this, but please make it an option to turn on/off on settings. Some people might not want this and I don't want them to stop playing because of this.

    I my self would really like it. I almost never play minecraft with out a playlist I made on youtube of different biome sounds.
    I just makes such a difference to play with ambient sounds, makes the game seem more alive.

    If you never tried it, just get a video of some nature sounds, like this one "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G8LAiHSCAs" and play around a bit in a tree biome, it makes such a difference.

    Also for caves, i use this one "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ2GanJIGbk" the dripping sounds with echo make it so much more immersive.

    I know there are some mods with this, but with every update, mods stop working, 

    I really hope they add this to the game in the next update. Regardless of how much new things they put it, the game always feels dead to me with out any ambient sounds. To me its important that the game feels alive.

    Ditto. I believe that Minecraft just sounds a bit to silent ...  The birds would be a great addition, since us humans are so used to hearing them... Minecraft just doesn’t sound natural without them.
