Where you hear it

pvpflagtakenmono.ogg rings out when an enemy grabs your flag or your side takes theirs. Warsong Gulch introduced it, and Twin Peaks reuses the same rules. Hearing it means a carrier is on the move and the whole match pivots around chasing them. A Horde-tinted version exists so each faction hears its own variant. The 'mono' in the name marks it as a non-positional sound everyone hears equally.

TriggerPlays in capture-the-flag battlegrounds when a flag is picked up from its base.
