Environment
Here are the different environmental soundscapes that DOOM Eternal uses to immerse the player. (Note that the actual corresponding soundscapes start only after a couple of seconds, and they switch between different locations inside the level)
Let's take a closer look at Super Gore Nest (that's the bottom middle one). Firstly, theres a faint sound of wind. Extremely distant howling and thunder create a sense of a big open space. Closer, you can hear some otherwordly sounds. These paint a picture of a soundstage that is near the listener: A soundstage that reminds of living and breathing flesh, pulsing. You can hear monsters growling, some closer and some further away.
A lot of DOOM Eternal's environments use sound to portray this uneasiness that is present through the game. Deep bass roars and shrill wind tones combine into a background sound that is inherently hostile; like everything is dead, except the beast below.
