A Hit Sound or hitsound is a sound clip that plays when dealing damage to another player. In addition, a higher-pitched sound is played along with the player's hitsound when a Critical hit is performed. A "Last Hit Sound" has the same concept as a regular Hit Sound, but plays when dealing enough damage to kill another player. Hit Sounds also colloquially refer to Kill Sounds or killsounds as a subtype of them, which this article also covers.
Hit Sounds and Last Hit Sounds can be activated and customized through the Advanced Options menu.

Custom Hit Sounds
Custom Hit Sounds can be installed by placing a sound file in tf\custom\customfolder\sound\ui folder (the customfolder folder is just an example; it can be any other folder with a different name, as long as it's not the main sound file's location folder). The custom Hit Sound must be in .wav (16-bit) format in order for it to work properly. You can create your own Hit Sounds by converting a sound to .wav format with a sample rate of 44100hz, 22050hz or 11025hz. A custom Kill Sound can be made by placing a killsound.wav in the folder specified above, while a custom Hit Sound can be produced by placing a file named hitsound.wav. Custom Hit Sounds can be downloaded from various internet sites.
Deleting a custom Hit Sound or Kill Sound will switch back to the default sound(s).
