To make noise:

if the location is the Crypt

say "The sound bounces back from all directions; you would seem to be at the center of an open space.";

otherwise;

let way be the best route from the location to the Crypt;

say "The sound echoes[if way is a direction]; if you had to guess, you would say that a larger space lies somewhere to the [way][end if].";

end if.

Instead of attacking a ringer in the Basement when in darkness:

make noise.

Understand the command "whistle" or "hum" as "sing".
