Raid and PvP Sounds
The audio of group content: ready checks, raid warnings, boss alerts, queue pops and the battleground horns and fanfares that bracket a match. Most of these were designed to cut through a noisy fight.

Group content has its own soundtrack. Raids run on ready checks, raid warnings, boss emotes and the banner that celebrates a kill, while battlegrounds open with a countdown and close with a faction fanfare. Most of these were designed to cut through spell effects and voice chat, which is why they are so recognisable years later.
This hub collects those cues from the client, from Warsong Gulch flag alerts to the threat warning that tells a damage dealer to ease off. Each page names the exact trigger, the expansion it arrived in where that is clear, and the battleground or raid it belongs to.
