 Many of the sound explorations in a game could be classified as [[Awareness]]. Still, some of the explorations approach very specific problems for which also specific solutions have been found. Those include [[Failure]], [[Achievement]], [[No Can Do]], [[Hurry Up!]], [[Window of Opportunity]], [[Beacon Locator]], [[Ouch!]], [[Imminent Death]], [[Seeking for PC]], and [[Unaware NPC]]. Even PC's and NPC's [[Character Soundprint]] serves the purpose of informing about the character's closeness, [[Identification]], health state, etc.
-To a certain extent, sounds of [[Awareness]] are mostly unidirectional -- that is, they ''output'' something. Yet, if these sounds are designed in a way that they effectively produce changes in the player, namely at the emotional level, they may be instrumental to indirectly shape the players input.

 Sounds of [[Awareness]] expose aspects of a circumstance that demand some degree of attention, relevant to gameplay. These stimuli may either evidence a problem, inform about a state, emphasize an opportunity, or reinforce the outcome of happening.
