What's that siren-like sound ?

[Sidd]

I think I mostly (or only) hear it in the Wasteland but It's seriously creeping me out. It's 100% part of the ambiance and sounds like a broken police or ambulance siren in the distance.

I just mute ambient sound. Most of it doesn't make sense. It's not tied to any part of the environment, it doesn't come from anything I can see or track down. It may as well be voices in my head or separate music playing in the background.

Don't worry. It is not a weird cult plotting your doom or anything.

It is just ambient sound, but there are certain screams to listen for as an early warning. Also, the broken Ice Cream Truck jingle is probably the creepiest ambient sound.

You have to ask one of the voices you hear to tell you what it is.

I agree. There's no context to any of it.

I'm living in the wasteland biome in a little underground base I've built, and there's this constant siren sound that just won't go away, and it's not part of ambient sound, it still goes even if I mute that

As mentioned ambient sounds aren't tied to anything in the game like Screamers or Hordes.

If you like it, keep it.
If it creeps you out and don't like it, turn down Ambient in Options | Audio.

I keep Ambient off mainly because it's discracting me from the real deal.

I know, but I'm saying it has to be tied to something because turning down / muting the ambient volume does nothing whatsoever

Move to 1 min time stamp

If you mean that sound, its an alert system, idk if unmodded 7 days has any buildings with those set up in advance, but it could be your problem.

yeah, turns out one of my friends decided to set up a speaker right outside the hatch to my base and then leave it on for ages, thanks though!

This^ . But you really have to ask in a way that isn`t so direct. you know like if you are walking down a creepy alley and have to talk your way through it , like you are talking to someone but aren`t. And hope that what hears you doesn`t want to eat your brains. Kind of like that... :P
