Question about the ambient sounds

[Zomb]

Hey guys, since the free weekend you've had me hooked! :D One thing I am wondering is if there's any updates planned regarding the ambient sounds. While gathering materials for my base, it was rather quiet. I just kept thinking how awesome it would be to hear a Rexes ground shaking roar in the distance or a growl of a Saber.

At the moment when it's really dark, I lose the feeling of being in a dinosaur world since I don't really bump into other dinos unless they get close enough to aggro on me or if they wander into the glow of my torch. It doesn't need to be sounds of a dino near me just something that keeps you wondering if there's a Carno roaming the forests in front of you. Just something that lets you know you are living along side dinos.

If there was you'd know it, you've just lucked out enough to not have that occur. You'll hear their stomping and killing things for actually a decent distance, sometimes far enough to not be spotted. However most of the time if you can hear them they can see you...

Do the Rexes have a roar then? I have had one Carno charge out of the shadows and scare the hell out of me but I didn't hear anything from him. Just like when I've scouted and seen a Rex I haven't really heard him.

In one of the past ark digests the devs confirmed that they are going to put a lot of work into ambience. :)

"Survivor, JustApollo asks “Might we see a bit more added to the island’s ambient sound?

Answer:
Yup! We’ll be doing a lot of work on ambiance in the game. First of all, we’ll be introducing loads of new fauna and smaller creatures into the game, to co-exist with already existing ones to add that extra touch. You’ll start to see more birds, insects and other critters. We’ll also be making changes that include hearing the noises these creatures make in the wild as well as our already existing bunch, and some extra sound effects to go on top."

I have also had the crap scared out of me by dinos spawning right on top of me in the dark.

Awesome! :) I'd just love to hear a Rexes roar echo down a valley.

I occasionally hear wild Rex's roar when they are attacking stuff but it's not very loud.
You can make a tamed Rex roar when riding on it and pressing your regular aim button. It's nice and loud when you're sitting on it but the sound fades off in a very short distance. Personally I think you should be able to hear the roar at least 1k away. I'm sure this will all change in the future but you're right there is a lack of ambiance right now.
