[Suggestion] More random sound events

Hey guys!

This was kinda stuck in my head and I felt like I had to post about it right now.
My idea was to have some more random off-screen sound events like the one where SCP-682 can be heard roaring and getting shot at.

Some of my suggestions:
Spoiler
Maybe in LCZ, especially shortly after the breach, you could hear staff trying to escape, like someone behind a wall is shouting "C'mon, this way!", fast footstep sounds appear following the voice and you can hear doors being opened and closed.
Spoiler
A sound event where you can hear someone being attacked and captured by SCP-106 in the distance, maybe this could happen shortly before SCP-106's spawn timer runs out and it spawns next to the player.
Spoiler
An event where you hear someone behind a wall saying something like "Where am I now? Haven't I been here before? Is there even a damn exit somewhere??" and then running away as he may have encountered SCP-173.
Spoiler
The alarm sound that plays after the breach and (played?) in endrooms shoud occur more often, maybe at random intervalls followed by maybe a short incomprehensible intercom message.
Suggestions from others:
Spoiler
Some subtle 'hidden' sounds like Doug Rattman in Portal 2. Suggested by Skin_
Spoiler
Shooting sounds in the distance. Suggested by Accension
Spoiler
Some old ambience sounds that were apparently removed from the game should be reimplemented. Suggested by WillWow_mc
Spoiler
The intercom could be used in the introduction more to emphasise the panic and desperation of the foundation personnel trying to figure what to do.
It would be a great edition if you could hear the O5 Council or various administrators shouting over the radio and intercom about individual containment breaches, issuing commands, reporting confirmed deaths and demanding orders from their colleagues. I'll post a list of examples below.


Intercom/radio containment breach reports

"We have a critical containment breach in SCP-939's chamber!"

"SCP-058 has breached containment, we need to lock down this whole sector!"

"SCP-009 containment failure! We need to quarantine the entire sector!"

"Multiple SCP-772 specimens have escaped containment!"

"SCP-076 has escaped, we need Nine Tailed Fox in here RIGHT NOW!"

"I-I think someone is... purposely sabotaging our systems! I can't- *sigh* nothing is responding!"

"Oh God! SCP-049 containment breach! Shit, SCP-457 has ALSO breached containment! "What the fuck do we do?!"

"Shut down the whole fucking site! They're all getting out at once!"

"SCP-075 containment failure! Th-the fucking doors are opening by themselves!"

"I've got no control over SCP-280's chamber! We need to evac this sector NOW!"


Radio/Intercom panick

"O5 Council we need some god-damned orders! What the hell do we do!"

"I'm not ready to fucking die down here, man! Just order an evac and send the Mobile Task Force in for Christ's sake"

"We've lost control to all of the doors! *static* -reports of- *static* computer virus or *cut-off*

"O5 Council order a fucking evac NOW!! We're losing research staff faster than I can think!"

"Weapons aren't working *static* -need Mobile- *static* all gonna d- *cut-off*"

"The whole system's gone haywire! We can't- *sigh* where are the orders comi- *screaming*"

"Fuck the O5, they can't do shit now!! Save yourselves and just run *screaming*"

"If SCP-682 gets ou- *static* -no hope- *static*

"Who's issuing commands?! Someone get an Administrator to get this situation under control."

"This is FUCKED! They're *static* -killing everyo- *static* hopeless- *screaming*


O5 Council/Administrator conversations

O5-7 - "This is beyond anything we have predicted. It looks like a coordinated attack from a separate party. I'm getting reports of bombs, and uh... special ops?"

"Is there any other O5 personnel still alive out there?"

"This is hopeless, cut the power to everything and lock us all in here, let the SCPs die of old age."

O5-2 - "Listen! We're not giving up on this site! We can throw the fail-safe on the entire system and give it a fresh restart."

O5-7 - "*sigh* Well at least someone's still breathing in this place."

O5-2 - "Send someone down to the electrical room and tell them to kill the power."

"Uh-Ok scratch that order, there's a critical virus blocking all door access. Y-you need to find somewhere to hide. Uuuh - try going underground?"

O5-7 - "We can't fucking go DOWN! That's where most of the escaped SCPs are going!

O5-2 - "Shit, erm... OK, head to the surface ASAP! That's your best hope to survive. Get to an elevator and go up to the surface"

O5-7 - "We CAN'T. They keep attacking our elevator shafts and denying any kind of exit."

O5-2 - "Well what the fuck do YOU suggest then? I'm out of ideas."

O5-7 - "For God's sake man, you're useless. Who put you in charge?"

"OK, the tram-lines are a no-go. Uuh... we're losing our neighbouring sites as well so we can't escape to those. Good God, Site 37 is just... gone."

O5-2 - "How did someone plant a freaking virus on our systems anyway? Inside job maybe? Double agents?"

O5-7 - "Never mind that, let's focus on the situation at hand before we start throwing conspiracy theories around."

"*sigh* Fuck this, get a distress call to Nine Tailed Fox now and tell them this is URGENT, possible X-K scenario. There's no time to keep stalling, we're losing this site and others before we can even react."

O5-2 - "And the research personnel?"

O5-7 - "Tell them to hide. Keep them calm and let them know help is coming."

Maybe the sounds of some guards shooting something in the distance?

That happens at the start of the game, usually, doesn't it? As in, the shooting. Well, I haven't heard it in the newest updates, so I have no idea if it is bugged or not.

As for sounds/ambience, what happened to that old ambient 'beat' that you would constantly hear (it went something like bang. click, badoonk... bang. click... bang. click, badoonk... bang... You know, the sounds of what seems like some big thing stomping. I haven't heard it since really old versions of SCPCB)?? Maybe something like that re-added. Depending on the zone, maybe, it changes.

And maybe more people in the entrance zone, or something, because the SCPs couldn't have just 'killed' them all already, because face it, why the heck would you have such a 'secret' organization, with really dangerous 'things', have such huge flaws? Like, why are there the checkpoints if they only stop the player and not the SCPs??

Sorry if I went a little off-topic.

THAT's one of the best ideas I ever saw, it'd really give the game a complete new atmosphere that the facility is actually going through living hell. Currently it just seems like everyone quickly leaves after the breach and nobody's worried anymore. I also like the idea of someone realizing that the systems malfunction because they were sabotaged.

I'll update the list with the other suggestions later this day since I'm posting with a shitty tablet right now.

Edit: List has been updated.

I thought these chats were pretty interesting so I recreated the O5 chat.
[LINK INVALID. CHECK NEW POST]

I think it would be very good if there were a little more sound events. It would make the game seem a little more "alive".

PS.: Sorry if my voice acting is terrible.

It's good so far, but there should definitely be more emotions in the voices.

We're losing this site and others before when can even react! (or something like that) should have more panic for example.

Okay. The thing when I recorded this was: I didn't exactly knew in what situation these people were in. Since they are O5 personnel I thought they would be in a safe location were they can talk calmly.
I'll see if I can do it better tomorrow.

Even if they were safe, there would still be panic since they're loosing the site and serveral highly dangerous SCP objects are breaking out. Well, maybe that's just my thought.
