Sound Sensor tips?

[Scatter dust]

I'm still trying to get a good understanding of the Sound Sensor. How should I even use it? Should it be one of the first Items I take inside? How will it help me against the ghost? The description in the game doesn't give the needed details on what to do with it.

The sound sensor lets you listen to the ghost from the safety of the van. You can hear the footsteps to help you determine the speed of the ghost. Though if you are playing solo, you would need to be in the location in order for the ghost to hunt, so not really that helpful.

You can place them in the larger locations to help determine the location of the ghost (either initially of after it moves). You can hear things like ringing phones, or door touches, or whatever.

I do normally play solo. So you can actually hear all of that inside of the van when you deploy one of those sound sensors?

Any sound you can hear if you were actually standing there, can be heard in the truck if you have a sound sensor within range of it. The range of the sound sensor will be shown on the map in the truck, and which sensor is picking up the sound will be shown on the top right screen, to the right of the map and above the activity board. So if you have multiple sound sensors in place, you can tell which one it is picking up the sound.

Oh okay. I honestly didn't know that you could hear the sounds in the truck as well. Thank you for helping me with this
