Chapter 6. Manage Audio in Babylon.js

In the last chapter, you started adding dynamism to your scenes by adding collisions checks and physics simulations. Another important feature is handling sounds in your scenes and finally making it more alive. This chapter not only explains sound management with Babylon.js in order to create soundtrack sounds, but also spatialized sounds (3D). In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Playing 2D sounds
  • Playing 3D sounds
