Weird Sounds
This really has nothing to do with Unreal, but for the past...idk..2-3 days..ive been hearing random sounds coming out of my speakers..the first night i heard growling...the 2nd time i heard beeps..then later i heard..(yes this will be funny but its true) i heard some sort of cell-phone ringtone...then earlier today, i heard some sort of laughing..all the times i wasnt really doing anything...either i was alone in a map in unreal with nothing around me, no music/sounds/monster,or i was just on Old Unreal.....im not sure whats happening but..its weird...god knows what will happen the next time..but...yeah... :-/

ghosts? 
Nah really, if speakers are not screened enough (which happens quite often with such), they may act as some kind of receiver. Nothing to worry about, if its cheap speakers, replace them simply. If expensive...well....warranty? But still, really has nothing to do in this part of the forums, better to post in "Off Topic".

Re: Weird Sounds
I know what you mean. Evens with sound of you can hear weird voices who sound like their from some pilot talking in a helicopter. Do you have any sort of amplifier on your room? Because i have one for my bass and electric guitars, thats why i captured those sounds.

Re: Weird Sounds
Ghosts in Unreal, lol.
This one time I decided to load up a map I last worked on years ago, the main hub consists of the inside of a wide tower fuselage and seperates into about 6 different directions.
This was the map that n_stuff was made for and premiered utilization of those massive keys. Suddenly I see this thing moving at the corner of my eye down one of the passageways, and as I looked at it 'it moved back into place'. I thought to myself out loud "Wtf, I swear those iron bars just moved by themselves?"
I stood there staring at it for about 30 seconds to see if it would do it again, it didn't, but as I decided to give up and walk away they started moving sperradically. I made this map, therefor I know that the only way to move those things is via a lever on the other side of the door which a player needs to push. THAT'S what scared me, if it would have been someone elses map then it would not.
About five hours later I realised that dots had within the past month given me an update of n_stuff.u, which had made the security guards placed near the controll room have a bit more free will and they ran around in there pushing buttons and yanking levers to no extent causing all kinds of things to happen around the map.

Re: Weird Sounds
Err, the map itself was old, ugly and probably cacheripped by somebody.
Unless dots has a copy of it (you can have it if you want to
