Is it possible to make sound come from one ear?

I know that its possible to place a part with a sound attached to it next to the player but then you hear it from both ears and I was wondering if there is a way to make the sound come from just one ear?

I’m currently working on a horror game and i really wanna do this but i havent seen any posts about it so im concerned that its impossible, but posting about just in case someone knows

I appriciate all the help i can get :smiley:

Stereo mixing is one way, panning it all the way to one side, but is not upload effective(takes two files instead of one, unless you only want one).

The other way is to make an attachment placed directly adjacent to the player’s camera, let the sound play from there.

could you please elaborate? what do you mean by “Is not upload effective”. How does it work? Im quite new at this so i would appriciate an more elaborated reply. I also dont understand by what you mean with the other optinon to :sweat:

Isnt the second option the same as i described? Putting the part next to the player, but then the sound will play in both ears…

But thanks anyways for the fast reply

For this part, it’s more audio engineering-specific. Audios have a stereo mix which allows a left and right output. Panning it left or right will respectively make the sound more directional to their corresponding panning.

It isn’t as effective in theory. I said next to the camera. Not the player character. You do not hear sounds from the character but the camera itself.
