Just tried out the experimental version of the new build. The bases should (eventually) have their own distinct sounds while walking inside. Some notes:
  • The exterior 'fauna' sounds should be muffled everywhere in your base so its not so loud while inside, unless there's a giant fish nearby.
  • You should be able to hear quiet air blowing through the smaller connecting corridors, similar to background air conditioning. Youtube reference for ISS space station:
  • Each 'room' set-piece should have its own soundscape.
    Generic rooms should have a slight echo, the moon pool will have an echo and a watery chamber sound, and the observatory should hear water swooshing by and play this subnautica track if the user is standing in the room for more than 10 seconds:
  • Bases that are between certain depth milestones (100m, 500m, 1000m, etc...) will sound a bit different than surface bases. Perhaps they creak/groan more often due to the pressure.

I think this would add a lot of character to bases, and move away from sounding like "the same as outside but with walls".
