How to Create 3D Sound in Unreal Engine 5 — Spatial Audio for Beginners
In this video, I show how 3D sound works in Unreal Engine 5 and how to set up Sound Attenuation using a simple example.
We’ll go through how sound behaves in space: how it appears when entering a trigger radius, fades out with distance, and helps create a believable and immersive scene.
As an example, I use a live environment from my own project with birds and other ambient sounds to clearly demonstrate how positional audio works in real gameplay conditions.
This beginner-friendly tutorial will help you understand the basics of sound setup in Unreal Engine 5 and start using spatial audio in your own projects.
