Sound
Description
Plays a sound from either the vanilla game or a resource pack at the targeted entity or location. An extensive list of sounds can be found here. Using multiple sounds stacked together can give the impression of an entirely new sound.

SoundCategory Attribute
A list of sound categories can be found here.
Volume Attribute
The “volume” attribute, while above the value of "1", doesn't define the percentage of the loudness of the sound, but rather determines how far (measured in blocks) the sound can be heard at maximum volume.
The formula for this is v * 16 = maxvolume distance. For example if you use “1” for the volume attribute, the sound can be heard at maximum volume in a radius of 16 blocks around the source. If you used “20” however, the sound can be heard at maximum volume in a 320 block radius! (20 * 16)
While the value is between 0 and 1, the sound is still played in a 16 blocks radius, but with diminished volume, with 0.1 being 10% of normal volume, 0.4 being 40% of normal volume and so on.
Emitter Attribute
If an emitter is set, sound playback will occur dynamically from the emitter-entity's location rather than a set location.
| Emitter | Description |
|---|---|
| CASTER | The entity that has called the mechanic |
| TARGET | The target entity of the mechanic |
| BOTH | Plays twice, on both the caster and target |
| AUDIENCE | Inherits the audience of the mechanic as the emitter(s) |
