I hope not, as I believe most of those voices are confined to my head, and not yours.

However, WRT gaming, do you have auditory elements in your games?

Never! The solemn silence must not be broken!
Rare/occasional/frequent anthropogenic onomatopoeia (AO)
Scenario appropriate background music
Externally (non human voice) generated sound effects
Sound effects built into minis or terrain pieces.

For us, different scenarios will have frequencies of AO. (All chariots must be accompanied by "Neeeiiigh! clip-clop-clip-clop chuggachuggachugga".)

Rarely will we have scenario driven background music; usually it's just our regular background music.

I have a theremin built into a scifi mad scientist lab set, but other than that, nothing.

I have one tubaer (a bugler converted into a military tuba player) for which I aspire to get a micro recorder that will play tuba (Hall of the Mountain King, Pictures at an Exhibition, Jaws theme, …) when you pick it up to move it.

So, not sleigh bells then???

I don't do anything for sound in my games, other than using my voice to make sounds like "pew! pew!", "vwooom!", "borrrrrr" etc.

Play appropriate march music sometimes.
Play appropriate warfare sounds sometimes.

Both are on my phone, though I forget as often as not.

von Schwartz12 Dec 2019 5:19 p.m. PST

You mean YOU hear the voices, too!?

What do they tell YOU to do?

Don't mind background noise unless it is mobile phones ringing and being answered.

I've put miniature Bluetooth speakers inside buildings and played battle sounds from my cell phone.

That is a novel idea.

Bluetooth speakers inside buildings

Cool. Unicast or individually addressable?
