Quick answers
What Was That Noise in plain language.
Understand sounds, harmless sources, saved variations and table views.
What does the generator create?
Create one curious sound with an apparent direction, ready read-aloud line, nearby reactions and an ordinary harmless source, with simple investigation or time to reveal the answer.
Which sounds can I choose?
Choose a creak, knock, scratch, thud, muffled voice, crash, wail, rattle or drip. Set the mood, loudness and repetition to suit the current location and what the party is doing.
How is the mystery resolved?
The ordinary harmless true source matches the apparent direction. Simple investigation steps reveal it, or the source can reveal itself with time. Players can investigate, ignore it or wait.
How do Quick and Deep differ?
Quick uses location, current activity, sound type, mood, loudness and repetition. Deep adds apparent direction, what players might initially imagine, investigation or time, anything to avoid and private Dungeon Master context.
Can I save and share a sound?
Review, edit, lock and reroll. Save to your signed-in VISINVOKE account, then reopen, rename, duplicate, search, tag, annotate or delete; twelve-version history keeps earlier variations. Copy the read-aloud-first moment, use full Dungeon Master or player-facing views, download a structured record or print.
Does it introduce danger or another encounter?
No. It does not introduce a new arrival, interrupt the scene, break an object or create a monster, ghost, trap, ambush, plot clue, quest or encounter. It sends nothing to Combat Pro. Open it from Generators in Desktop Command Centre and review current account access.
