HI I think, that a sound would be best for an item. You know like in troopanum and sod, and I think pipe2 as well the toolboxes. So by all measn, sounds because you can tell what they are, and you know an annoying voice gets really annoying, like you know the "game paused" in ailiens in the outback from draconis, music, game paused. music, game paused. Annoyyyyying!
