Common questions about haunted ambience

Can I loop the haunted ambience?

Yes: the files marked Prepared loop repeat without a seam. Loop the WAV; an MP3 adds a short gap where it starts over. The other files are single takes: for a long level, crossfade two of them.

Is there a creepy forest ambience?

Yes: the Night Forest Unease Haunted Ambience files.

In code: GET https://sfxmint.com/api/v1/roles/dark-ambience returns a default haunted ambience file with alternates, and the MCP tool get_role_sound does the same for coding assistants. No key needed.
