Sounds of Skyrim - Civilization

What does it do?

Civilization focuses on adding 223 new sound effects to cities, villages, farms and

remote locations where civilization is present. In cities, you can hear

the sound of a hammer being used by a villager repairing something,

children playing, dogs barking or cats fighting. As you get closer to a

tavern doorstep, the sounds of patron chatting from behind the door are

played. When you get in, some patron may laugh out loud, yell or break

On farms or near them, you can hear the sounds of their animals, if they have any. Most of those sound effects can be

heard inside buildings too, linking the interior cells with the

exterior. If I take the farm example, you may hear the hen if you sit

close to the window. If it’s raining, you’ll hear the rain hitting the

windows; if there’s a snowstorm, you’ll hear the cold wind whistling by

the windows.

There are more sound effects than what has been described above. Refer to the next sub-section to see the full list.

What is Sounds of Skyrim?

Sounds of Skyrim is an audio project split in three parts that, in the end,

adds around 460+ sound effects to the game world. It affects almost

every cell and region in the game. My main goal is to not have one

environment that is soundless to enhance immersion. The sounds are

affected by the time of day, weather and location. So when walking in

the city streets during the day, you'll hear the echo of doors opening

and closing, children playing and workers sawing things. While at night,

cats fight for territory and dogs bark.

All three modules have been released and can be obtained on the website from where you downloaded this module.

The Dungeons

The Dungeons includes 115+ sound effects to add life to the dungeons. The

enemy type that inhabits a dungeon will make itself heard. At dungeons’

entrances, you also hear the exterior weather. If there’s a thunderstorm

raging outside, you’ll hear the thunder rumbling in the fort or cave

There's a standard sound set for each type of dungeon: Cave, Dwemer Ruins,

Forts and Sewers. These sounds play in these dungeons regardless of who

or what lives in it. To spice it up, dungeons inhabited by Falmer or the

Undead have their own sound sets in addition to the standard ones.

Undead dungeons have zombies and wraiths screaming or moaning. In Falmer

dungeons, you'll hear their occasional screams; a way of communicating

with each other since they are nearly blind.

The Wilds focuses on adding sound effects in Skyrim's wilderness. With the
