Plays 3D sound in 3D space.
</brief_description>
<description>
- Plays a sound effect with directed sound effects, dampens with distance if needed, generates effect of hearable position in space.
+ Plays a sound effect with directed sound effects, dampens with distance if needed, generates effect of hearable position in space. For greater realism, a low-pass filter is automatically applied to distant sounds. This can be disabled by setting [member attenuation_filter_cutoff_hz] to [code]20500[/code].
By default, audio is heard from the camera position. This can be changed by adding a [Listener3D] node to the scene and enabling it by calling [method Listener3D.make_current] on it.
