Random Screaming noise?

Have you ever tried tracking it?

I have, but, its ambient noise, so it technically doesn't have a soucre, for once, it sounded like it was right next to me, but there was nothing there.

It's most likely ambient sound, not an actual creature in the game.

Exactly, and if its an actual creature...I don't want to run into it...

its just an ambient sound of hyena screams.

Hm...douobtful. Sounds different.

they used a different sound bit to make the ambient sound so it would be different than the animal sounds. But hyenas scream just like foxes and to me it sounds like a poorly sound mixed hyena scream

I finally heard it a few hours ago when I was near the orange obelisk taming a quetz.

My first thought was: the sound engineer when he was out recording for ambient sounds that he caught some one being silly in the background. But then I figured their engineer wouldnt be -that- slopping and thought that more than likely they had the death knell yell in the background to make it feel a bit more scary(and that someone may not be alone etc).

One way or the other I think it and some of the other ambient sounds are emmersion breaking simply because they're not corresponding to animals actually in that location in the game. Hearing wolves while on top of a mountain(and where it absolutely doesnt sound distant or echo traveled) and know that know wolves spawn in that area or even close to that area is just silly.

I get they want more sounds to the game and have been adding alot of changes that feel like its being done so for change sake more than reason, but some of this stuff needs to be reined in.

I DO KNOW THIS NOISE!! Oh my God, there was a pack of Coyotes fighting a couple hundred feet from our tent in Yosemite national park, it woke the whole campground up. It was the most eerie uncomfortable sound I've ever heard.

Also, Dev's PLEASE read this forum post and make something more than just ambient noise, that would be sooooo freaking cool if there was some creepy elusive creature behind this noise. I love stuff that scares me!

Your computer is weird, for me and no time is it ever orange looking, not even at a distance.

I know people say this is a coyote ambient sound, but it's not. It's more human-like. I might reccord it for you guys once I get on the computer.

I heard it on Saturday. Way too human like. I'm sorry, but it chills me to the bone. It sound like some one falling off a cliff (and I was near a cliff so go figure). It is nothing like an animal. Cyotes kinda cackle and yip, not go AAHHhhhh...

I don't think we are hearing the same thing....I hear coyotes and wolves howling all the time in real life, they don't sound at all like that.

So do I, and they do sound like that. Maybe people who are hearing it as a scream are getting distorted sound thru their headphones.

Dude I studied the diffrence between cyote howls and wolf howls, and neither sound like that. I'm pretty sure that there are cyote and wolf noises, but there is also this scream. Trust me it was too human, and I wasn't listening through headphones, I was listening from normal speakers. I will search for the noise if I must, and see if anything is causing it, but believe me that thing thats making the noise ins't a wolf or cyote or any other creature that I can think of except human.

I totally agree with you. Very human-ish.
