Audio themes add optional sound effects, heralding your actions, involvement, and advancement in the game. They do not add background music. They are available on the Habitica website, Android app and iOS app.
Selecting a Theme[]
Selecting an audio theme.
To choose a theme, go to the Settings screen through the website's User menu or the mobile app's Settings icon. In the "Audio Theme" section, select a theme to enable it. To disable sound effects, choose "Off".
The table on this page shows all available themes and the actions and events that have sound effects.
Volume[]
Currently the only way to change the loudness for the sound clips is using your computer's or mobile device's volume settings. Habitica doesn't have a separate, in-game volume control.
Previewing the Sounds[]
To hear the sounds for each theme you can:
- use the Demo button on the website
- listen to them in unofficial SoundCloud albums
- use the links in the Available Themes section below
Demo Button[]
The Audio Theme section in the website's Settings screen contains a "Demo" button that allows you to hear the sounds from each theme. Select a theme then repeatedly press the demo button to cycle through all of the theme's sound effects in a loop.
SoundCloud[]
The themes are available in SoundCloud albums for previewing at https://soundcloud.com/habitica. This SoundCloud account is not official and is not maintained by Habitica's staff.

Planned Features[]
Due to the number of audio themes already available, submissions for new themes are currently on hold. For information about contributing to Habitica audio features, see the Guidance for Bards page and the music and sound effects Trello card.
In future, there might be additional themes and more sound effects for some of the existing themes. Background music may also become available.
There is currently a guild named Pirate Foley in the process of making a Pirate Theme.
