Floats are unprecise, do not compare floats like
if (Float1 == Float2)
Because this will most likely not be true, even if they have the same value.
Go read about how floats work for more information.
Instead you can use this approach
if ( GetRoundRemainingTime() < flStartSuddenDeathSound &&
flStartSuddenDeathSound > 0)
{
// Emit your sound here
flStartSuddenDeathSound = -1.0f; // So this code doesn't run twice.
}
