Description

Ambiance consists of the sounds of the environment. It contributes to the appreciation for the scenario, by reinforcing and complementing the graphical representation.

It is one of the Sound Layers of an Acoustic Ecology, along with Foley, Sound Effects, Music, and Dialogue [1][2].

Ambiance is usually perceived only when other Sound Layers are absent or low volume. For that reason, from an emotional standpoint, Ambiance is commonly associated to phases of Relaxation, when there are no other stimuli competing for focused attention. Still, in the case of horror games, Ambiance is typically used to support a continued feeling of Anticipation, instead. But, again, also in those cases there are usually few other sounds and, actually, Silence is an important ingredient in the sound composition.

Ambiance can also serve to better establish an association with a particular geographical location through the exploration of archetypes (namely those imported from film tradition).
