    "on_dialogue_open": "click_sound",
    "on_loot_open": "click_sound",
    "on_pause_open": "no_snd",
    "on_trade_open": "click_sound",
    "on_dialogue_replic_click": "click_sound",

{% endcode %}

All sound names are taken from assets/sounds/ folder, there are can be one level of deepness:

```
assets/sounds/ - OK
assets/sounds/UI/ - OK

assets/sounds/UI/Buttons/ - NOT OK
```

If property has one sound name, it always will be playing that sound, if there square brackets, it will be a list of sounds and it will plays it randomly.

```
"sound_name" - play only that sound
["sound_name", "sound_name2"] - randomly plays one of the sounds from list
```
