Ambience

Ambience are sounds that can be heard in Minecraft whose goal is to make the gameplay more climatic. As of 1.14, there are 2 types of Ambience, named Cave Ambience and Underwater Ambience.

Player can modify how loud Ambience will be in Music and Sounds Options by changing the Ambience/Environmental

Cave Ambience
Cave Ambience (cave sounds in Legacy Console Edition and eerie noise according to subtitles) is a set of sounds that occasionally play when the player is in proximity to a dark space.



Cave Ambient sounds can be played in any dimension, including the Nether and the End, and can be heard in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Ambience can occur in a space of any size, but they seem much more likely to be heard in larger spaces that are completely filled with a light level lower than 8, without any lighting from the sky. Ambience is more likely to play from the direction of darker spaces. The space does not need to be sealed off or hidden - ambience can be heard from a space that the player can actually see - nor does the player need to be underground to hear ambient sounds. They can also can play at different volumes depending on the distance the player is to the source.

Ambient sounds play randomly in different pitches, as other sounds of Minecraft do.

There are 19 sounds in total:

Underwater Ambience
"Not to be confused with sound called Water Ambience. Water Ambience is sound created when water is flowing and its loudness is modified by Blocks option, while these are Underwater Ambience, modified by its own option"Underwater Ambience (also called underwater sounds or ocean sounds) is set of sounds that occasionally play while the player is underwater.

They can be heard even if within small body of water and in any dimension.

Note that while underwater, you allways hear underwater ambience track named Underwater_Ambience in endless loop, while other sounds sometimes play separately

Trivia



 * Some of the underwater ambient sounds are sounds made by animals (like whales, specifically) that dont exist in minecraft.
 * When ambient sound 14 is viewed in a spectrogram, it appears to be a creeper face. This is an Easter Egg made by C148. Disc 11 shows a similar Easter Egg while viewed in spectogram.
