+
+## Audio Implementation
+
+### Ambient Audio
+
+#### Setup
+
+1. **Audio Component**: Add audio component to level
+2. **Sound Cue**: Create sound cue for ambient audio
+3. **Placement**: Place in level
+4. **Settings**: Configure volume, looping, spatialization
+
+#### Settings
+
+- **Volume**: 0.3-0.5 (background level)
+- **Looping**: Enabled
+- **Spatialization**: 3D spatial audio
+- **Attenuation**: Distance-based attenuation
+
+---
+
+### Vehicle Audio
+
+#### Setup
+
+1. **Audio Component**: Add to vehicle blueprint
+2. **Engine Sound**: Attach engine sound
+3. **Pitch Control**: Control pitch based on RPM
+4. **Volume Control**: Control volume based on throttle
+
+#### Implementation
+
+- **Engine Sound**: Play engine sound loop
+- **Pitch Variation**: Vary pitch based on vehicle speed/RPM
+- **Volume Variation**: Vary volume based on throttle
+- **Tire Sounds**: Play tire sounds on hard braking/turns
+
+---
+
+### Footstep Audio
+
+#### Setup
+
+1. **Audio Component**: Add to player/NPC
+2. **Surface Detection**: Detect surface type
+3. **Sound Selection**: Select appropriate footstep sound
+4. **Playback**: Play footstep sound on step
+
+#### Implementation
+
+- **Surface Detection**: Use line trace or surface detection
+- **Sound Selection**: Select sound based on surface
+- **Timing**: Play on footstep timing
+- **Variation**: Randomize sound selection
+
+---
+
+## Audio Settings
+
+### Volume Levels
+
+- **Master Volume**: 1.0 (adjustable by user)
+- **Music Volume**: 0.5-0.7
+- **SFX Volume**: 0.7-0.9
+- **Ambient Volume**: 0.3-0.5
+- **Voice Volume**: 0.8-1.0 (if dialogue)
+
+### Spatial Audio
+
+- **3D Spatialization**: Enable for 3D positioning
+- **Attenuation**: Distance-based volume falloff
+- **Occlusion**: Audio occlusion (optional)
+
+---
+
+## Audio Quality
+
+### Format
+
+- **Format**: WAV or OGG
+- **Sample Rate**: 44.1kHz or 48kHz
+- **Bit Depth**: 16-bit or 24-bit
+- **Compression**: OGG for smaller file size
+
+### Quality Standards
+
+- **No Artifacts**: Clean audio, no compression artifacts
+- **Appropriate Levels**: Proper volume levels
+- **Consistency**: Consistent quality across assets
+
+---
+
+## Integration
+
+### With Systems
+
+- **Time of Day**: Audio changes with time of day
+- **NPCs**: NPCs have audio (footsteps, dialogue)
+- **Vehicles**: Vehicles have audio
+- **Interactions**: Interactions have audio feedback
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Audio Testing
+
+1. **Playback**: Test all audio plays correctly
+2. **Volume**: Test volume levels
+3. **Spatialization**: Test 3D audio
+4. **Sync**: Test audio sync (if applicable)
+
+### Quality Testing
+
+1. **Quality**: Test audio quality
+2. **Levels**: Test volume levels
+3. **Mix**: Test audio mix
+4. **Performance**: Test performance impact
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
