Mandatory properties
type
Type: string
Must be "sound".
name
Type: string
Name of the sound. Must be unique. Used as a https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html#SoundPath.

This defines which slider in the sound settings affects the volume of this sound. Furthermore, some sound types are mixed differently than others, e.g. zoom level effects are applied.[1]
aggregation
Type: table
Table with the following members:
- max_count - uint32 - Mandatory.
- progress_threshold - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - If count already playing is true, this will determine maximum progress when instance is counted toward playing sounds.
- remove - bool - Mandatory.
- count_already_playing - bool - Optional. - Default: false - If true already playing sounds are taken into account when checking maxCount.
allow_random_repeat
Type: bool
Default: false
audible_distance_modifier
Type: double
Default: 1.0
variations
Type: table (array) of tables
Array of tables with the following members:
- filename - FileName - Mandatory. Supported sound file formats are
.ogg
,.wav
and.voc
. - volume - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0
- preload - bool - Optional.
- speed - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64. This sets both min and max speed.
- min_speed - float - Optional. Not loaded if speed is present. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64.
- max_speed - float - Mandatory if min_speed is present, otherwise not loaded. - Default: 1.0 - Must be >= min_speed.
