Sound Effects
Symphony of the Night has a plethora of sound effects that are used throughout the game. Some of these sounds (mainly the voice over assets) have also changed with later versions that were released after the game's debut on PSX.
Konami has been known for previously inserting sound tests in their 90's games but the ability to hear all the sound assets is missing in the majority of SotN releases. While the Saturn port does has a sound test, it is only for music. Until sotn-decomp's Debug Module was created, it was impossible to listen to every sound effect in the game without using a debugger and enabling breakpoints.
Sound Libraries Used
Like with many other video games, sound libraries were used to provide much of the audio assets for SotN.
