  3. Placing Sound Effects In Games  Each video game title has specific places where sound effects are a “must”— in start screens, active interface menus, cinematics, and gameplay.  Let’s take a closer look at important areas to place sound effects: 1. Animated Logos: As a game loads, players are met with a variety of animated logos for publishers, key developers, and other creative forces. The sound designer can really have some fun creating these types of game sound effects!

  4. Placing Sound Effects 2. Cinematic & Cut-Scenes Opening/closing and transitional “movies,” respectively known as cinematics and cut-scenes, establish the story’s background music and drive it forward, set the mood, provide needed clues, and give praise for completing a difficult level. 3. Interface & Menu Screen Effects Menu screens can be simple or complex, depending entirely on the needs of the game. Button sounds, ambience, environmental sounds, alarms, attention signals, and other audible indicators are typical for these areas. Music loops and occasional dialogue will also share the soundscape, and these music elements must work together.

  5. Placing Sound Effects 4. Ambience & Environmental Effects Background ambience and environmental sound effects are what give “life” to a game’s virtual world. These background sound effects add a sense of realism to the visuals. 5. Creating Sounds for Make-Believe Objects Creating sounds for objects that don’t actually exist can be a challenge if you want to keep the sound suitable and still evoke a sense of believability.
