**Inherits:** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Overrides the location sounds are heard from.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Once added to the scene tree and enabled using :ref:`make_current<class_Listener_method_make_current>`, this node will override the location sounds are heard from. This can be used to listen from a location different from the :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>`.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_Listener_method_clear_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **clear_current** **(** **)**

Disables the listener to use the current camera's listener instead.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_Listener_method_get_listener_transform:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` **get_listener_transform** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the listener's global orthonormalized :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_Listener_method_is_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_current** **(** **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if the listener was made current using :ref:`make_current<class_Listener_method_make_current>`, ``false`` otherwise.

\ **Note:** There may be more than one Listener marked as "current" in the scene tree, but only the one that was made current last will be used.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_Listener_method_make_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **make_current** **(** **)**

Enables the listener. This will override the current camera's listener.
