Lethal Company v50 Beta, Old Bird: Sound Effects/SFX

"A long-range acoustic device, acoustic hailing device or sound cannon is a specialized loudspeaker that produces sound at high power for communicating at a distance. It has been used as a method of crowd control, which has caused permanent hearing damage, having an extremely high decibel capacity."

According to their history, these machines were designed for war... so, it makes sense. It is a dirty and psychological warfare tactic used by its creators to use against their enemies... something similar to the concept of "The Ghosts of Vietnam."

for those making theories about the baby sounds. its likely not that deep.

The scary thing about these is that we aren't seeing them in their prime, its after centuries of deterioration from being forsaken. These things are the first weapons of extra-orbital war or whatever the game calls it. Their clunky movement probably developed overtime as they deteriorated, imagine it at its prime, this giant several ton metal monster running towards you at full speed. The torch probably made a bigger hotter flame too, maybe the rockets launched father too. The speaker probably sounded far louder and was far more realistic, the lights probably were blinding too. Imagine that, blinding lights rise over the hills, a cacophony of the deafingly loud cries of babies following it, then rockets go shooting from the lights, wreaking havoc on wherever you are, if you surive that you see the old birds in their full glory, running all around scorching everything around them, blinding those they miss with their spotlight. These things might have been designed to destroy cities, but they destroy the mind too.
