It's quite common in games with typewriter-style text animations to have a "mumble" or "gibberish" sound effect that plays whilst text is being revealed. This function allows you to define an array of sound effects that will be randomly played as text is revealed.
Setting the overlap value to 0 will ensure that sound effects never overlap at all, which is generally what's desirable, but it can sound a bit stilted and unnatural. By setting the overlap argument to a number above 0, sound effects will be played with a little bit of overlap which improves the effect considerably. A value around 30ms usually sounds ok. The overlap argument can be set to a value less than 0 if you'd like more space between sound effects.
