Description

Noise may be used in disparate circumstances, ranging from Ambiance to part of the Gameplay. "Noise" does not have to be actual noise. It may consist of a sound that due to its intensity is perceived as such.

Limbo present us an example of the use Noise as part of the Ambiance. In this case, noise is constant and soft.

In the Silent Hill series, the PC carries a Radio which emits a static noise when there are enemies in the surroundings, contributing to Awareness, which is a relevant element of Gameplay.

In [pending] the PC takes advantage of the noisy environments to carry out some Stealth operations.
