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
