So, I'm trekking to a local goblin fortress to... Make some friends.  Walking along the coast, admiring the sights, I see at the bottom of my screen, 'You hear a low boom.'  What the hell? Whatever.  Keep walking.  'You hear a metallic ching.'  Um...  Anyone know what this is about?

[Corai]

A titan is coming, made of steel. RUN.


PS: Goblins dont appear in adventure mode, unless bandits/human civ.

[Hanslanda]

Yeah I found that out when I went right through the map marker.  >.< And I wish it had been a titan, all the lawgivers will give this beast of a man is bandits in camps and dungeons.

[Loud Whispers]

Birds.

[Intro1827]

Yeah, it's an owl.

[Sunday]

Or a kakapo.

[Hanslanda]

Oh, that makes sense.  There was a Great Horned Owl around when it happened.  Thanks all.

[Hylas]

I've heard those sounds while wandering around HFS, not sure why you'd hear that on the surface. You might check your world.sav to see what creature(s) make that sound.

[Naryar]

Great horned owls doesn't seem to make noise in vanilla. I'm pretty sure only capybaras make noises for now.

[Intro1827]

No, that's wrong. Check the raws/play.

only capybaras make audible noise many other creatures make "noise" with announcement text.

[Hanslanda]

Audible like actual sound effect through the speaker, or you get a message about it audible?

Edit: And seriously, there was an owl five feet from me when I 'heard' the sounds, and I was in a cold biome on a world I've never seen ANY capybaras on.  But I'll check the raws if someone will tell me what tag to look for.

In the raws for male kakapos:

   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:50:1000:VOCALIZATION:ching:chings:a metallic ching]

Like many parrots, the Kakapo has a variety of calls. As well as the booms (see below for a recording) and chings of their mating calls, it will often skraark to announce its location to other birds.

Ok, that's a strange bird. That solves one mystery, but still leaves the question of how I was hearing flightless parrots in the HFS. The low booms and metallic chings actually added to the atmosphere quite nicely.

The birds are BADASS in this game.
