I have a question. Is there a page for the noise that some RPGs make when text is scrolling. Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS1 had it, and I'd like to make it if it's not already on here. So, what would you guys call it, or does it already exist? I've looked for it, but can't find it.

It's not RPG-specific.

@Hailinel: I said some RPGs have it.

So, no one knows if it's on here or what it'd be called?

I like when it's lower or higher pitched depending on what the character speaking would sound like.

Yes! I like that too. I have been playing Playstation 1 RPGs lately and noticed that some don't have it. Strangely, the noise makes me actually want to read the text. The ones that don't have it make me feel like they're missing something.

Try looking at the concepts linked to one of the Zelda pages, if it exists one of them is bound to have it.

It seemed to me like a lot of people didn't like how Okami did it but it's one of my favorites, Golden Sun is good too.

After playing so much Phoenix Wright I don't like it when there isn't text noise. It is a decent substitute for voice over, as I wouldn't want those characters to speak but I still need something. No idea if it has an actual name though.

Okay, so the page doesn't exist. I'm going to make it, but I'd like to get the name right. How does "Scrolling Text Noise" sound? Any other serious suggestions? If not, that'll be it.

How's "Nonverbal Voiceover" sound? Maybe it doesn't fight quite right.

I'm okay with "Scrolling Text Noise/Sound"
