I’ve played with that idea a few times. The key is to layer sounds that mirror the narrative beats, like echoing a character’s inner conflict with a dissonant chord that resolves when they find clarity. It’s a subtle trick—no need for huge explosions of sound, just a gentle shift in frequency that nudges the player’s feelings along with the story. It feels like the whole world hums in sync with what’s going on inside the character, like the ship’s engines tuning into their heart rate. Have you tried syncing the audio to the character’s breathing? It can make the mood shift feel almost organic.

Yeah, I’ve found that the lower end—around sixty to eighty hertz—sits right where a human heart usually settles. It’s that deep, almost drum‑like thump that feels like the universe itself is taking a breath. When you sync that pulse to the story’s beat, the world starts to echo the character’s heart, making the place feel… alive, almost. Just keep the rhythm smooth; a staccato beat can break the immersion.
