## Syntax

```lua
bool setSoundMaxDistance(sound sound, float distance)
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `sound` | `sound` | The `sound` element. On the client a `dui` element also works, for the browser's sound. |
| `distance` | `float` | The distance in metres. |

## Returns

`true` if the sound was found, `false` otherwise.

On the client, a 3D sound streams out when the camera is more than 40 m beyond this distance.

## Example

```lua
local siren = playSound3D("sounds/siren.ogg", 1544.0, -1675.5, 13.6, true)
setSoundMaxDistance(siren, 120)
```
