The Chronicle update for Phasmophobia introduced additional eerie sounds and vocalizations for spirits, enhancing their auditory presence. However, without tangible audio proof to present upon completing a mission, this feature feels somewhat underutilized. Thankfully, the same patch revamped the way the Journal logs and presents evidence, which resulted in the addition of a new item: the Sound Recorder. This device aims to fill the gap left by the lack of audible outcomes from ghost interactions.
I experimented with it myself. Phasmophobia update preview And discovered that mustering the courage to stand in the darkness, moving towards any threatening sounds, could be frightening enough. The process of staying put and capturing audio was truly petrifying. Although similar to many tools in our kit, the Sound Recorder can sometimes be quite temperamental; however, I’ve invested considerable time dealing with entities in the dark and possess some spectral knowledge as evidence.

Additionally, do not fret about capturing brief occurrences—as ghostly noises must last long enough to appear in the Journal for them to count.
