The game's sounds, on the sound bank (audio/bank.ts, played by audio/sound-player.ts): an engine loop whose pitch and volume follow the car, a tyre scrub that plays only while the rear is sliding (a drift), louder the more it slides, a siren's wail while one is heard (the player's own, or the nearest other car's, fainter with the distance), an ice-cream van's jingle while one crawls or serves near, a burning car's crackle, louder the nearer the fire, the rain's hiss and the wind as hard as they go, a boom for every explosion heard (by its size and distance) and a deeper one for thunder, a horn on request, a dog's bark (fainter with the distance), any other sound of the bank on request (AudioSystem.play: the shots, the hits) and a music loop toggled with M or the overlay button, quiet while the radio plays, at the settings' volumes (the whole, the music, the effects); held while the game is paused. Which file each sound plays (or which placeholder) is the bank's business. Browsers only play sound after a user gesture; Howler unlocks itself on the first key press or click.
