What the hell is that noise?

I just came out of the Orion Store (Science store) in Steel Canyon, and standing in the archway outside the door under the spinning Orion sign, I am hearing the sounds of people chatting, and what sounds like a mike giving feed back. If I move away, it disappears, but when I go back under the arch it's there again.

What the hell is this? Is this a sound bug or something? Or is this sounds from a secret room like the Cyrptic offices in Grandville that have a few sounds coming from strange places?

Anyone know what's going on? I thought I heard this the other day coming out of another building but I didn't pay attention to it. Is the outside of the building supposed to sound like a crowded restraunt?

Some stores and restaurants have these 'background fillers'

I believe at the metro stations its the same sound.

There are lots of surprise ambiance noise sources throughout the game. Try listening outside the bowling alley in Atlas sometime, or the red phone booth in the Pocket D.

The restaurants in northwest Faultline have unique ambient noise.

Outside certain places, usually with BAR in the window, it sounds like you're standing outside a bar. There's a murmur of conversation, occasional glass clinking. Pretty nifty.

I vaguely remember a player mentioning the sounds the police drones make. And noting they mention a street name he lived on.

That store has had the restaurant ambient sound forever. It's a bug, but not one that's attracted enough attention to fix, I guess. Considering that entire neighborhoods lose theme music from time to time, it's just one of those little quirks.

This is how the GMs keep an eye on players in game.

'That Noise' is likely the rotating sign above the door.

The line goes...

"and what the hell is that smell?!?"

followed by a couple of kicks to an alien that flew 90 billion light years to start a ruckus and some mumbling about a BBQ.

Oh...sorry,...wrong movie.


There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

If I'm not mistaken, the Steel Canyon entrance to Paragon Dance Party used to be there. I think the sounds date from that.

So, my curiosity got the better of me and I went to Pocket D and I couldn't find the red phone booth, I am guessing it is one that looks like the ones in City of Villains zones?

You can find them in Faultline, I think. You can also actually knock the doors off!

You'd be amazed at the number of things you can rip off their hinges in this game.

Phone booths, wrought iron gates, tree branches to name some.

There are all kinds of little bugs and glitches like that all over the game. It's tiny problems that they've either never gotten around to or considered so insignificant that it wasn't worth the time to look into. Pay it no heed.

Why would the noise outside a store be a bug? Maybe they put that noise there because stores are... noisy.
