Ambient dirge

Every stadium seems to have this strange background sound every few innings, which I assume is supposed to be a train off in the distance, but in fact sounds a bit like the horn section of an orchestra suddenly intoning the sombre chords of impending death from some obscure and overlong symphony. I tell my fastest players not to try to steal if I hear this sound, for bad things seem to happen soon after the dirge: pitchers well within their green zone pitch as though this is their two-hundredth throw, players drop easy fly balls, or catch a sac fly and dare the runner to go, then take three more seconds to throw the ball and the run scores, umpires call pitches right down the middle ball four. I suppose it doesn't happen with the regularity I think, but is it possible to edit the ambient stadium sounds and get that one removed?

According to some forum members you can delete files you don't like. You can also make the file silent by erasing the audio. You can also replace files. You can add new files. Both OGG and WAV files can be used. Edit or create files using Audacity. It's free.
