# 🔉Sounds

> In this page we will cover how the sounds work in the project.

## Resources

You can find all sound effects in the **Plugins → FPS Animation Pack Content → SFX**. There are 2 types of sounds, based on how they are triggered in runtime:

1. Anim Notify-Based

   1. Reloads

   2. Grenade

   3. Movement

2. Gameplay-Triggered

   1. Firing

   2. Aiming

   3. Fire mode switch

Let's see how exactly sounds are implemented using real examples:

## AnimNotify\_PlaySound

This notify is used to play all animation-based sound effects:

</Frame>

This notify is usually placed at the beginning of the sequence:

## Gameplay Sounds

The firing sounds are played in the **BP\_WeaponBase**:

Unlike other effects, firing ones are *Sound Cues*, which implement randomized pitch, volume as well as the order of sounds:

The fire mode switch is played in the respective method of the weapon blueprint:

Finally, the aiming sounds are played in the [Player Blueprint](/fps-animation-pack/unreal/gameplay/player-blueprint):
