Default Music

Music in Dota 2 consists of multiple soundscape tracks, as well as a variety of stingers that are triggered by in-game events. Some tracks are layered on top of other ones, and may contain long periods of silence.

This is the default music pack. Custom music packs are also available as cosmetic items.
