Sound Effects

This is a sub-page of Spider-Man 2 (Windows, Mac OS X)/Unused Sounds & Voice lines.

The game has many sound packs with sounds grouped by some similarities in their application. Most of them were used, but not all. You can hear the unused sounds below.

Ambient.uax#

combat.uax#

Sound	Comments
barrel_fly	These 3 flying barrel sounds could be used for those barrels on the final Ock battle.
barrel_fly2
barrel_fly3
bodyfall1	SuperThugAnimations and Thug01Animations use bodyfall2 and bodyfall3. However, these sounds are used by the unused animations of thug death from demo, when they didn't disappear right after their deaths. It makes all these sounds unused.
bodyfall2
bodyfall2a
bodyfall2b
bodyfall3
bodyfall3b
bodyFall4
bullet_ricochet1	None of these bullet ricochet sounds were used, because there's no real guns and bullets in the game at all.
bullet_ricochet2
bullet_ricochet3
bullet_ricochet4
bullet_ricochet5
bullet_ricochet6
copShield_hit1	None of the cop shield hit sounds were used. It's weird that no one ever tried to hit the shielded cops, but the devs still planned to implement it at some point. It looks like the cop shields weren't even used anywhere outside of the prison level.
copShield_hit2
copShield_hit3
copShield_hit4
kick3	A number of kick sound effects were unused.
kick4
KickB1
KickB2
Mysterio_Action1	These two sound effects for some Mysterio actions weren't used.
Mysterio_Action3
Mysterio_CapeFlap2	There are 6 sound effects for Mysterio's cape, but only 3 of them were used. Not these three. They all still sound very similar, though, so it's not a big loss...
Mysterio_CapeFlap4
Mysterio_CapeFlap6
ock_claw_ringing1	Some unused sound effects for Ock's tentacles.
ock_claw_ringing2
ock_claw_ringing3
pistol_9mm_shoot1	The shoot sound effects were used in the demo for thug guns, but replaced in final version. However, these pistol_9mm_shoot sounds are also used by an unused shooting animation of cops. There's no moments in the game where cops at least tried to be useful, all of their battle animations were unused, just like these sounds.
pistol_9mm_shoot2
pistol_9mm_shoot3
pistol_9mm_shoot4
pistol_45_shoot1
pistol_45_shoot2
pistol_45_shoot3
pistol_45_shoot4
puma_deathBlow	It's unclear if that's a last blow you finish Puma with or he finishes you with, but it's unused.
punch_deathblow2	Other punch deathblow sound effects play when Spidey gets killed. This one isn't used, though.
rhino_chargingfx2	Most likely some old unused charge effect for Rhino.
swishFX2a	There's a lot of different swish sounds effects for a variety of thug attacks and not only, but these 5 weren't used.
swishFX2b
swishFX3_hollow
swishFX4_flange
swishFX5_bright
tear_gas_gun1	Hm, there was never any tear gas guns in the game. Either it was cut early in development, or wasn't made at all. The sounds weren't used by anything else, by the way. Maybe cops could have tear gas guns besides pistols.
tear_gas_gun2
tear_gas1	A couple of unused sound effects for the tear gas thugs used in prison.
tear_gas2
turretLab_projectile	This sound is used by Webhead.u, but it's unclear for what purpose. At least we couldn't hear it anywhere in the game. Judging by the name, it was made for some turret projectiles, but it could be used for something else.

DoorsAudio.uax#

Sound	Comments
mnuPick	This sound is in both DoorsAudio and Empty uax packs, however, it's never used. Most likely some default Unreal Engine UI sound. Empty.uax has only this sound, so it isn't included in the article.
moneyVault_closingNear	Technically, this sound is used. But it's complicated. The big circular metal money vault door closes when Spidey gets into the room with Ock in the bank. However, the sound doesn't play then. To make it play, you need to reload the game after you already got to that room and then go to the intro cutscene trigger outside of the door using ghost mode. That way the door will shortly open and then close again, but with the sound played. Most likely it happens because they did mistakenly set the sound to the door opening and we never see it open in the game.
door_huge_close4	This sound was used in the cutscene where Ock closes the door with the music puzzle in the bank. However, the file from DoorsAudio isn't used by the game, even though it's still in the text of the bank map file. If you close the door using 'causeevent docvaultdoormover' command - a 'door_huge_close1' sound will play, not this one, which is odd. That 'door_huge_close1' is also used by some other doors, by the way.
bank_door_wood_close2	These two files are pretty interesting. The first one is used in both bank and Bronx, when the second only in the bank. You can close bank doors using "causeevent" commands, but never casually - triggers only open these doors, but never close. In Bronx, however, there are at least 3 different closing doors: two in the tutorial on how to beat the thugs and another one in the prison. But they never use this 'bank_door_wood_close2' sound, only 'bank_door_wood_close1'. The sound is still not very loud, so maybe it requires additional research. Technically these files are legitimately unused.
bank_door_wood_close3
bank_door_wood_open2	This open door sound isn't used.
door_huge_close3	It's similar to one of the used huge door close sounds, but unused.
DrawerPlastic_closing1	These two sounds were meant to be used for a drawer plastic mini-challenge, but were left unused.
DrawerPlastic_opening1
lock_open1	Most likely could be used in the bank, but it wasn't.
moneyvault_closed_far	Another weird thing. These two sounds also have duplicates in the same sound pack, but with a typo in their names: 'moenyvault' instead of 'moneyvault'. The pairs of these files really are identical, but none of them were used, even the versions without the typo.
moneyvault_closing_far

Events.uax#

Sound	Comments
air_raid1	'air_raid1' is a stereo version of that siren at the beginning of the Oscorp mission, mono version was used instead. 'air_raid2' has stereo and mono version as well, but none of them were used.
air_raid2
air_raid2_mono
bank_crowd_screaming1	This file is used by Oscorp map, but it can never be heard in the game. The only possible use is the very beginning of the level, where you see people running away.
CB3_explosion_car	This explosion was meant for the first level, but it's unused.
CB3_wall_cracking1	There are several wall cracking sounds for Rhino breaking out of his cell, but this one wasn't used.
CB3_Steam_hiss	Most likely another sound for tear gas, but unused.
deposit_box_smash1	Some unused metal crash sound.
Garage_Door_Start	That Puma's garage used several sounds, but not this one.
Mixer_pour	A couple of unused sounds for a cement mixer, most likely. Could be used on the construction site if there were any cement mixers...
Mixer_pour2
Oscorp_alarm3	A very disturbing Oscorp alarm... It's not hard to see why they left it unused.
pkup_movieTicket	This sound is technically used by Webhead.u, however even if you spawn a movie ticket using "summon" command - no sound will play, which is odd. Maybe they loaded it in the script, but didn't attach to a ticket class. Either way, since the collectible is unused, the same happened with this sound.
pkup_webProjectile	This sound could play when you get that web shooter in Oscorp. Sadly unused.
spin_elecVault	All of the spin sounds are used on the train fight by Ock throwing different things at you. This one is loaded in Webhead.u file, but can't be heard in the game. Or can it?
spin_subway	However, this spin sound wasn't even loaded by anything, so it's 100% unused. What the hell is this? Could Otto throw subway cars? Weird.
teleporter_Activate	Something weird is happening with this file. It's used by Twisted City 1, 2 and final warehouse level, but can you hear it? What's even more interesting is that there's a sound "teleporter_Activate_2ndLayer", looks like they were meant to be played at the same time. However, this second sound is very similar to this sound of stone platforms that appear to give you a road to teleporters on Mysterio levels. Maybe it's just broken and the game plays it differently, it must be that sound exactly. Either way, the teleporter_Activate sound doesn't play with that one... Maybe it's played, but can't be hard, since Spidey is too far away from the teleporters, the same thing already happened with cop cough sounds.

Footsteps.uax#

Almost every type of footsteps in the game has up to 9 different sounds, but for most cases only 3-4 of them were used... Why did they left so many footsteps unused, if they had them? It's absolutely worse for the variety, even though the footsteps sound really similar overall...

Sound	Comments
car4	An unused car footstep. 3 others were used.
Cave4	4 out of 7 cave footsteps are unused.
Cave5
Cave6
Cave7
Concrete6	There are 8 concrete footsteps and different files were used for Peter Parker and Rhino animations, plus for concrete flooring. However, this sound wasn't used at all.

crawl5
crawl6
crawl7
crawl8
Dirt4	The same applies here: only 3 of 8 dirt footsteps were used.

Poo5
Poo6
Poo7
Poo8
RottenWood4	Two last rotten wood sounds weren't used.

Rug4	Once again, 5 unused rug footsteps out of 8.
Rug5
Rug6

sp_concrete01	8th concrete footstep was used for some concrete surface and others by Puma animations. However, these 3 files aren't loaded in any of the game files at all.
sp_concrete06
sp_concrete09
sp_jumpDouble	Some special effect for Spidey's double jump. There's also an unused visual effect for double jump, looks like initially the devs planned to make double jumping more special.
sp_Water01	A couple of unused water footsteps. There's no files between 01 and 06, most likely they were cut at all, but could just be renamed. Actually used water footsteps start with "Wet".
sp_Water06
Stone4	These 5 of 8 stone footsteps weren't used.
Stone5
Stone6
Stone7
Stone8
Wet4	And absolutely the same thing happened to these water footsteps.
Wet5

wood5	Two out of five wood footsteps weren't used.

HiTechSounds.uax#

Sound	Comments
Bank_SCSIdrive	Some unused Small Computer System Interface noise.
BrendarDevice	Google can't provide any information about what Brendar Device is, but most likely it could be used for some gizmo in Oscorp... But it wasn't.
crane1run	Some unused crane sound.
elec_arc1	A few unused electric sounds.
elec_arc3_short
elec_fry3
elec_spitting2
electronic_beep6	Of all the electronic beeps the game has - this one was left unused.
elevator_ding1	A different elevator ding was used instead of this one.
experimentB3	There's many different sounds for a variety of experiments in Oscorp, but these 8 weren't used anywhere. ExperimentB4 sounds similar to that sound of mini-challenges launching their coins, but it cuts too early.
experimentB4
ExperimentE1
ExperimentF1
ExperimentF2
ExperimentF3
ExperimentG1
ExperimentG3
Hum_pulsing	Some unused hum, presumably for Oscorp experiments.
Oscorp_voice_overload	"Caution", "warning" and "countdown" clips with the same voice were used for freezing room in Oscorp. The "overload" clip was left unused, though.

Impact.uax#

Sound	Comments
breaker_box_impact	Some unused metal sound.
breakObject_generic1	A couple of unused sounds for some generic objects broken.
breakObject_generic2	A couple of unused sounds for some generic objects broken.
car_impact1	Of 4 different car impact sounds, this one wasn't used. Others are used on the last train sequence where Ock throws cars at Spidey. Some car impact sounds are used on other maps as well, but for different purposes.
CB3_impact_wall_rhino2	A couple of unused sounds of Rhino wall impact.
CB3_impact_wall_rhino4	A couple of unused sounds of Rhino wall impact.
girder_impact1	Only girder_impact5 is used on the final level map for a girder on MJ escape path. Other 4 sounds are unused.
girder_impact2
girder_impact3
girder_impact4
impact_bodyfall2	There are 3 impact_bodyfall sounds and 2 of them are used when Spidey falls to his death, while this sound wasn't used.
impact_building1	The first sound is used by some presumably unused Spidey animation, since it can't be heard in the game. There was an animation of Spidey colliding with a wall. Other 3 sounds aren't even linked to any of the game files at all.
impact_building2
impact_building3
impact_building4
impact_lightpole1	Looks like Spidey could also use these sounds on collision with a light poles.
impact_lightpole2
impact_trashcan1	And with trash cans as well... Maybe they planned to use these sounds for some other purpose.
impact_trashcan2
metal_ding1	4 out of 5 metal ding sounds are unused.
metal_ding2
metal_ding3
metal_ding4
metal_large_hollow1	Two out of three metal_large_hollow sounds weren't used.
metal_large_hollow2	Two out of three metal_large_hollow sounds weren't used.
tentacle_strike_metal1	tentacle_strike_metal2 was used when Ock disconnects train cars, but other three files are 100% unused.
tentacle_strike_metal3
tentacle_strike_metal4
thownHit_train	An unused sound for some object, thrown by Ock on the train, hitting Spidey. Maybe it was meant to be used for objects, that missed Spidey and landed on the train instead...
thownHit_tree	This sound is loaded in Webhead.u, but can't be heard in the game. It would play if Ock could throw some trees at Spidey on the train. However, it was never a case in the game, so the sound is most likely unused. Maybe it's used for some other purpose.

People.uax#

Sound	Comments
CB3_scream_female1	None of these screams were used, most likely because they are too over exaggerated...
CB3_scream_female2
CB3_scream_female3
CB3_scream_female4
CB3_scream_female5
CB3_scream_female6
CB3_scream_male1
CB3_scream_male2
CB3_scream_maleB3
CB3_scream_maleB4
CB3_scream_maleB5
cough_cop1	The 3rd cop cough isn't used at all, but the first two are linked to that animation of cops coughing in the tear gas tower. But here's the thing: the radius of these coughs is too short to make it possible to hear them in that cutscene. You can play this animation on any cop in the game using debug functions or just increase the radius of the sound and then you'll hear them. But since you can't hear them casually in the game without any modifications - they can legitimately be called unused.
cough_cop2
cough_cop3
feedPigeons	Looks like some pedestrians could feed pigeons, but since it wasn't implemented, the sound was left unused.
mysterio_levitate1	These three sounds could be used for Mysterio levitating, but they weren't.
mysterio_levitate2
mysterio_levitate3
mysterio_vanish1	These two files are linked to a presumably unused animation of Mysterio disappearing after a Guddini-like hand wave, so you can't hear them in the game.
mysterio_vanish2
newspaper_turn1	There are some pedestrians that hold newspapers in their hands, but since the newspaper object in the game is just some flat thing - they could never turn any pages. The sounds weren't used.
newspaper_turn2
Puma_AngryCry2	Puma_AngryCry1 is that cat-like sound you can hear after cementing Puma in Crystal Tower. This second version sounds more like a real puma animal, but it wasn't used.
Snore1	None of these snores were used. Maybe some thugs or pedestrians could sleep, it was never a thing in the game.
Snore2
Snore3
Snore4
VendMach_hit2	An unused vending machine hit sound effect.

RobotAudio.uax#

Sound	Comments
botMalfunction1	A few Mysterio bot malfunction and move sounds were unused.
botMalfunction2
botServo4

UISounds.uax#

Sound	Comments
Fail1	A couple of fail menu sounds, that weren't used.
Fail2	A couple of fail menu sounds, that weren't used.
success1_strat	A couple of success menu sounds, none of them were used.
success2_synth1	A couple of success menu sounds, none of them were used.
menu_rollover2	There were two menu rollover sounds and this one wasn't used. It's higher pitched, than the used one.

Vehicle.uax#

Sound	Comments
Bus1_running_1s	Some bus sound, that wasn't used by the game.
CB3_tire_screech4_long	This tire screech could be used for the van chase in Bronx, but other sounds were used instead.
CB3_Vehicle_crash_1s	These 5 car crash sounds are unused, but were meant to be used for Bronx van chase.
CB3_Vehicle_crash_3s
CB3_Vehicle_crashB_close_stereo_4s
CB3_Vehicle_crashD_stereo_2s
CB3_Vehicle_crashE_2cars
engine_stall_long	An unused car engine stall sound.
radiator_hiss1	An unused radiator hiss.
siren1_close	3 unused police car sirens.
siren1_far
siren2_far
Van_DrivingFast	A couple of unused van sounds.
van_pullaway	A couple of unused van sounds.

VOAudio.uax#

silence_bank

For some reason, there's a file with 9 seconds of silence in the pack with voice lines. There's a similar file for Oscorp, but that one was used. The filesize is absolutely the same. Judging by the name, it could be used in bank for some purpose, but subtitles.int file shows what was actually this file meant for: silence_bank=Pick up a rock and throw it at a Turret. While it is shooting at the rock get behind it and web up the air intake. After a few more shots the Turret will over heat.

Walla.uax#

Music folder	Walla.uax
bank_walla	bank_walla

For some reason, this file is in both Music folder and Walla.uax sound pack, but no game files have links to a sound file with such name. Most likely unused. It wasn't used on the bank level and it can't be heard near the bank in free play. Looks like the file got in the Music folder mistakenly. Version from the Walla.uax is louder.

Sound	Comments
BankWalla1R	Some unused bank ambient. It sounds like it could be used outside the bank.
BankWalla2
BuildingTop_wind4	There's a lot of different wind sounds, but this one wasn't used.
CB3_alarm_bell1	Unused prison bell alarm. Honestly, it sounds like a school bell... A louder CB3_alarm_bell2 alarm was used instead.
CB3_alarm_tone1	There's a lot of different car alarms, but this file wasn't used.
CB3_electric_fence	Another sound was used for the prison electric fence instead of this one.
CB3_Fire_extinguished_hissR	Of all the fire extinguisher hisses, this one was left unused. Most likely because it isn't consistent.
CB3_fire_hydrant_running2	Fire hydrants on the gas station never used such watery sounds. The devs decided to use hiss sound instead. It sounds more like a fountain, than a fire hydrant.
CB3_Fire_mediumL	This fire sound was unused, most likely because it's too quiet and rather suits a small bonfire, than a gas station after an explosion...
dyn_Const1	God knows what "dyn_const" could mean besides "dynamic constant", but these two sounds aren't used. Sounds like a garbage collector truck.
dyn_Const2
energyField1	A stereo version of this sound was used for those energy fields around generators on Twisted City - Part 1 level, which makes this mono version unused.
fountain_large1	There's many fountain sounds, but only this wasn't used.
metal_screech2	Similar metal screech sound was used on the last level for that bridge on Mj escape path, but that one had a longer screech.
meteor_shower	Some unused falling meteor sound effect. It doesn't sound like "meteor shower" exactly, but it could be used on Twisted City 2 or 3.
PAve_churchbell2_far_stereo	Bronx has a church with church bell sound. Judging by the name of the file, another church could be in Park Avenue. It's a different sound and it wasn't used.
PAve_citypedestrians	Unused street ambient for Park Avenue district.
rock_mover_loop	Maybe an unused sound for Mysterio throwing meteors at Spidey. It doesn't sound really good, most likely that's why it wasn't used.
Sink	There were no sinks in the game, so there was no place to use this sound. Most likely the developers downloaded it from some stock just in case they need it.
thug_Riot	Maybe they wanted this sound to be played before you come close to a large group of thugs. That way you would here that there's a lot of them. But it sounds like they are fighting here, it was never a thing in the game.
toilet_flush1	Fun fact: if you stay near the men's room in the bank long enough - you will hear some toilet flush sounds. But not this one. This one wasn't used by any of the game files.
