Default ambient sounds in Bay City
tracked
AldoIseppi Resident
Ever since calling Bay City my home, I have noticed the total silence. There is no ambient sound by default, and the only times when I can hear ambient sound is if it has been added by a private landowner. Would it be possible for Linden Lab to add default ambient sounds to Bay City as it is done in other areas inworld?

Hello AldoIseppi! Thank you for the request. Public mainland generally does not include ambient sound or a music stream. The inclusion of soundscapes in Linden Home regions is an element of the design of these specific areas, which are in a separate estate from the mainland.
The land within Bay City includes a loose community-guided theme, however, it is still a part of the mainland.
Residents have the option in their own viewer to hear sounds or play media as they wish, and as you have noted, land owners have the option to provide these elements on their land as desired.
We are marking this request as tracked. Thanks again!

Hi, Oatmeal, and thank you for the response.
Unless I am completely off the mark, which could be a possibility since I am getting older and I might get slightly confused, I would venture to say I have heard interesting and beautiful ambient noises and soundscapes in public areas in the Mainland different from Bellisseria, like this one:
or this one:
and in a few others where Linden Lab has created structures, both large and small.
If you look at the Sound Explorer, these sounds and soundscapes belong to Governor Linden.
Therefore, even if I am incorrect, it would definitely be nice if we did not have to experience full silence in places like Bay City outside the private areas. Just the sounds of birds chirping would be far better off than nothing at all.
So, thank you for tracking my request.
Keep up the excellent work you are doing.
Aldo
