Is it possible to change the Roblox death sound?

Here is an amazing video on how to do exactly that on youtube.

So basically, create a local script called “RbxCharacterSounds” and place it in the StarterPlayerScripts, and put the following code in.

-- Roblox character sound script

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local SOUND_DATA = {
	Climbing = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3",
		Looped = true,
	},
	Died = {
		SoundId = "0", -- it is 0 to mute it
	},
	FreeFalling = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_falling.mp3",
		Looped = true,
	},
	GettingUp = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_get_up.mp3",
	},
	Jumping = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump.mp3",
	},
	Landing = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump_land.mp3",
	},
	Running = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3",
		Looped = true,
		Pitch = 1.85,
	},
	Splash = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/impact_water.mp3",
	},
	Swimming = {
		SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_swim.mp3",
		Looped = true,
		Pitch = 1.6,
	},
}

 -- wait for the first of the passed signals to fire
local function waitForFirst(...)
	local shunt = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
	local slots = {...}

	local function fire(...)
		for i = 1, #slots do
			slots[i]:Disconnect()
		end

		return shunt:Fire(...)
	end

	for i = 1, #slots do
		slots[i] = slots[i]:Connect(fire)
	end

	return shunt.Event:Wait()
end

-- map a value from one range to another
local function map(x, inMin, inMax, outMin, outMax)
	return (x - inMin)*(outMax - outMin)/(inMax - inMin) + outMin
end

local function playSound(sound)
	sound.TimePosition = 0
	sound.Playing = true
end

local function shallowCopy(t)
	local out = {}
	for k, v in pairs(t) do
		out[k] = v
	end
	return out
end

local function initializeSoundSystem(player, humanoid, rootPart)

		-- ** must use a waitForFirst on everything and listen for hierarchy changes.
		-- * the character might not be in the dm by the time CharacterAdded fires
		-- ** constantly check consistency with player.Character and abort if CharacterAdded is fired again
		-- * Humanoid may not exist immediately, and by the time it's inserted the character might be deparented.
		-- * RootPart probably won't exist immediately.
		-- ** by the time RootPart is inserted and Humanoid.RootPart is set, the character or the humanoid might be deparented.

You could just fork it from StarterPlayerScripts. Explaining this would be an easier process than reposting all the code.

  1. Start a test session.
  2. Open up StarterPlayerScripts.
  3. Copy RbxCharacterSounds.
  4. Stop session.
  5. Paste in StarterPlayerScripts.
  6. Open script. Replace Died SoundId.

0 does not mute sounds, it supplies an invalid asset and that will throw a warning in the console which you shouldn’t want to have. You can add a Volume key in the Died table and that will do its job effectively without sending load errors to the console.

Died = {
    SoundId = "rbxassetid://ORIGINAL_SOUND_ID",
    Volume = 0,
}
