Where you hear it
ui_duel_flag_placed.ogg plays when both players agree to a duel and the flag drops into the ground between them. A short countdown follows before the duel begins. Duelling outside the gates of Orgrimmar and Ironforge has been a social tradition since launch, with crowds gathering to watch. This file is a newer recording than the original duel sounds, part of the Battle for Azeroth era interface work. It makes a fitting 'challenge accepted' alert.
TriggerPlays when a duel is accepted and the dueling flag is planted between the two players.
