Soundpacks

As of this writing, Cataclysm does not come with a single built-in set of built-in music and sound effects. However, various collections ("soundpacks") have been created. Some of these are linked below. To hear much more than basic sound, a soundpack will need to be downloaded, decompressed if distributed in a .zip file, and stored in a directory in the data/sound directory. For Cataclysm players on certain platforms, there is a Windows launcher and a Linux launcher which can download some of these.
