For some reason the ambient loops named '''city_amb*''' (which do not include speech) are cut at a different length than in the English version, sometimes significantly longer.
The ambient loops named '''city_amb*''' are cut at a different length than in the English version, sometimes significantly longer. Bungie West may have originally been using full-length samples from a sound library and later decided to cut them back after the localizer had received a copy of the game assets. The shorter sounds in the English version still loop perfectly and save on memory; some of them also cut out undesirable sounds such as individual cars and emergency vehicles passing by the listener, which would be disconcerting in a game world with no traffic on the road.
 
*'''city_amb_t05a''' lasts ~3 seconds (182 ticks) in English Oni and ~6 seconds (348 ticks) in Japanese Oni

Thus, of all the "city ambient" loops, only '''city_amb_t06a''' uses the same sound data as in English Oni.
Thus, of all the "city ambient" loops, only the 5-second '''city_amb_t06a''' uses the same sound data as in English Oni.


These longer durations are consistent across levels, the occurrence being as follows:
