Suggestions

To add more atmosphere and get rid of the silence in your map you have to add some ambience sounds.

• Add 3d ambient sounds to things like rivers, lakes, fire sites etc.

• Add 2d STEREO ambient sounds (playing always at the same volume, regardless the position of the camera or the source in the map)

• Never, NEVER use a sound which have less than 22khz or have a obviously a bad quality.

• Don't use any sounds which have a bad loop or will be noticeable repetitive.
