Setting With the main character being next to black hole at the start of the cut scene there is a loud whooshing sound of everything being sucked in.

The sound of the black hole was probably computer generated or taken from a sound library.

Mood The mood is shown to be quite sombre by the slow orchestral piece when cortana is leaving for the last time.

The orchestra was no doubt recorded in a sound studio with real instruments.

Game genre Since its a sci fi game, there are many space sounds like the futuristic beeping of the bomb and the rumbling space craft engines.

The bomb beep would probably have been made by a synthesizer and the rumbling engines could have been recorded from an actual aircraft or large motor engine.

Their voices were probably recorded in a sound booth.
