Cyberpunk 2077 SoundDB

Previously known as "Sound Explorer".

Welcome to v2 of SoundDB, a community project designed to make it easy to search and explore the audio used in Cyberpunk 2077.

This website is created and maintained by Zhincore, with support from the Red Modding community. If you need help or want to report a bug, please do so on the Discord server, preferably in the #audio channel.

Note: This version is still in development. Please bear with me.

TODO

You don't need to report the following missing features:

• Helper search buttons like the ones on GitHub issues

API

API is available for your own applications, documentation is available at https://sounddb.zhincore.eu/.

Trivia

Did you know that I (Zhincore) wrote my bachelor thesis about SoundDB? It's available to read on my GitLab if you want to know more about the behind-the-scenes and how stuff works, including the description of audio data in Cyberpunk 2077 and how it's used here.

Advanced Searching

Currently, this website uses Tantivy's default Query Parser.

You can read more at the link above. Here’s a simpler summary:

Note: In the near future, SoundDB will use a custom parser, but I will try to keep most of the semantics similar.

Syntax

A search query consists of terms. A term is a word, or multiple words in quotes. For example, Johnny Silverhand are two separate terms, whereas "Johnny Silverhand" is a single term.

A term can also be prefixed with a field name, e.g., music:true or text:"impressive cock". Available fields are listed below.

The following operators are available, use them to make your searches smarter:

Operator	Description	Examples
AND, +	Terms on both sides are required (default)	music AND q103
OR	Either term is required	Johnny OR Alt
NOT, -	The following term must not be present	NOT Jackie, +friend -jackie
IN	An item from the list must be present in a field	hash: IN [1 2 3]
*	Find words starting with the term (use quotes)	"Cyberp"*
^	Boost the importance of a term (or reduce it)	johnny^5 silverhand^0.1

The parser defaults to the AND operator between terms.
