Cave Sounds

While you were in a cave at some point, you would've heard one of the chilling cave sounds before. Cave sounds are believed to play when you're either in a stronghold, dungeon, etc or it plays when you are near the darkest point of your world. As of 1.13, there are 19 concurrent sounds. They all play randomly, meaning there are no specific assignments for each.

However, some do believe they play for a reason, and while it isn't really true, it's still rather creepy.

First thing to note, all these sounds were made by the sound/music artist for Minecraft, C418. He is also known for making the also mysterious Disc 11 and Disc 13.

Now, some believe these noises are a source of Herobrine being in your world, but for the last time, no he's not real, and he's not making these noises.

Others believe these sounds are made by the same monster who we heard at the end of Disc 11. While that's a real good theory, there's little to no evidence that this is true, and like said with Herobrine, entities don't actually exist. Still, good theory.

I believe these cave sounds aren't being created by a monster at all. I actually think these noises were just sounds the player (Steve) used to hear while mining to set the mood for himself to calm down the eerie feeling in the cave he feels after learning about the story of what happened to the man in a cave once. (In Disc 11).

However, the issues are: The events of Disc 11 are easily faked, but that's because it's not in the present time like Herobrine would be if he's real, which he's not. And, the other issue is the cave sounds are echoing through the entire area, not in just one spot.

Now, we are going to talk about something rather creepy. When you delete the cave sounds' files (.ogg), and then reopen Minecraft, the files are going to reinstall themselves. Now, of course Minecraft has to reinstall lost things, but it is still creepy to think about.

In conclusion, Cave sounds are harmless to the player, but can still do a good scare. One day, you might hear these sounds and you will probably quit minecraft for a week. However, these sounds are just sounds, not something demonic.
