==========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :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_Listener2D_method_make_current>`, this node will override the location sounds are heard from. Only one **Listener2D** can be current. Using :ref:`make_current<class_Listener2D_method_make_current>` will disable the previous **Listener2D**.

If there is no active **Listener2D** in the current :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`, center of the screen will be used as a hearing point for the audio. **Listener2D** needs to be inside :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>` to function.

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

.. _class_Listener2D_method_clear_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

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

Disables the **Listener2D**. If it's not set as current, this method will have no effect.

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

----

.. _class_Listener2D_method_is_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

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

Returns ``true`` if this **Listener2D** is currently active.

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

----

.. _class_Listener2D_method_make_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

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

Makes the **Listener2D** active, setting it as the hearing point for the sounds. If there is already another active **Listener2D**, it will be disabled.

This method will have no effect if the **Listener2D** is not added to :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>`.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
