This is 2nd on my list so far.

If you haven't done it, definitely temper expectations on how "silent" it is. But it is undoubtedly quieter than any other house I've done. There were multiple rooms that absolutely felt "silent" outside of noises like wood creaking, water moving, etc. The house is also gorgeous.

And shockingly enough - the people in line with played along!
 
Like with several other houses this year, this house was a pleasant surprise for me! The soundscape of the house is killer, which made things a lot more tense and unnerving than I thought it would be. The Death Angels looked great, and there's a few spots where it felt like they were daring you to make a sound which is kinda' brilliant.

Speaking of which, a lot of folks who were around me played along and tried staying quiet. In one run we paused for a cast change, I decided to speak and sure enough one of those Death Angels immediately lunged!

All in all, this was certainly a wildcard risk of an IP due to the concept, but I think they did a really nice job with it!
 
The reference to multiple tiny speakers is fascinating to me. Many years ago I saw a playtest of technology like this at “Science of Disney Imagineering” pop-up show on New York (to give context, they also play tested Lucky the Dinosaur as a walk-around back then). They were showcasing the directional audio used in Haunted Mansion to make it seem like the Ghost Host was wandering around the room, and I thought it was stunning.

I wish I could hear this house for myself. Can anyone here vouch for the sound effects in this house? Is it more like Haunted Mansion, or the animals walking through the backstage berm in Pandora?

Ran this house a few times, honestly the audio design is similar to every other house, with the exception of a background soundtrack.

They always embed speakers into the wall, right by your ear to avoid noise bleed into other scenes, along with speakers throughout the scene for ambience effects, so it felt like any other house IMO.
