FiveM sound list

Every sound name GTA 5 ships, with the sound set it is filed under — 2,202 pairs, 1,872 distinct names across 498 sets. Search either half, filter to one set, and copy the name, the set, or a PlaySoundFrontend call that is ready to paste. The pairing is the useful part: a name on its own plays nothing.

Names from the publicly published GTA V data dumps. 563 of the rows have no sound set in the dump and are shown as such; 142 names appear under more than one set.

There is no audio on this page, and that is deliberate. No free, redistributable copy of GTA 5’s audio exists — it belongs to Rockstar — so hosting or hotlinking it would be infringement, whatever it did for our traffic. The names and sets here are the reference; the game is the player. Paste the test command below into a resource and you can hear any row in about ten seconds.

1. 01 Find the pair, not the name

   Filter by sound set, or search a name and read which set it came out of. Copy both, or copy the finished call.

2. 02 Try it as a frontend sound first

   PlaySoundFrontend with a sound id of -1 is the cheapest test there is: no entity, no coordinates, no range to get wrong.

3. 03 Move it into the world once it plays

   When you can hear it, swap in PlaySoundFromEntity or PlaySoundFromCoord. Debugging placement and name resolution at the same time is how afternoons disappear.

4. 04 Keep an id only if you need one

   GetSoundId, then StopSound and ReleaseSoundId. For a one-shot UI blip, -1 and nothing else.

local function playUi(name, soundSet)
    PlaySoundFrontend(-1, name, soundSet, true)
end

playUi("SELECT", "HUD_FRONTEND_DEFAULT_SOUNDSET")

RegisterCommand("soundtest", function(_, args)
    local name, soundSet = args[1], args[2]
    if not name then
        print("usage: /soundtest NAME [SOUNDSET]")
        return
    end

    local id = GetSoundId()
    PlaySoundFrontend(id, name, soundSet, true)

    CreateThread(function()
        while not HasSoundFinished(id) do
            Wait(100)
        end
        ReleaseSoundId(id)
    end)
end, false)

local name, soundSet = "Beep_Red", "DLC_HEIST_HACKING_SNAKE_SOUNDS"

PlaySoundFromEntity(-1, name, PlayerPedId(), soundSet, true, 0)

local x, y, z = 195.2, -933.8, 30.7
PlaySoundFromCoord(-1, name, x, y, z, soundSet, true, 30, false)

Signatures from the FiveM native reference: PLAY_SOUND_FRONTEND, PLAY_SOUND_FROM_ENTITY and PLAY_SOUND_FROM_COORD.

local bank = "DLC_HEIST_HACKING_SNAKE_SOUNDS"

if not RequestScriptAudioBank(bank, false) then
    local tries = 0
    while not RequestScriptAudioBank(bank, false) and tries < 100 do
        Wait(50)
        tries = tries + 1
    end
end

PlaySoundFrontend(-1, "Beep_Red", bank, true)

REQUEST_SCRIPT_AUDIO_BANK returns true once the bank is resident, and GET_SOUND_ID says in its own documentation that ids are not cleaned up for you — pass -1 unless you genuinely need to stop or query the sound later.

Copy the name from a row here rather than retyping it, and keep the capitalisation exactly as it appears. One row in the dump — Click_Special — even carries its sound set with a leading space in the game data; it is shown trimmed here, because a leading space would be a broken string literal in Lua. Nothing else on this page has been altered: no name was renamed, merged or invented, and a pair that is not in the dump is not on this page.
