So Halo technically DOES have a sound. But that sound is found in Halo 1, 2, and 3 primarily. Reach has it a little bit in very specific moments that connect back to the original trilogy. But otherwise with Halo 3: ODST and Reach the composer, Marty O'Donnell, loved to experiment with new sounds. Like how ODST's soundtrack has a lot of jazz influence, or how Halo 2 had a lot of rock music including actual collaborations with rock bands like Breaking Benjamin & Hoobastank, but also the Halo 2 Main Theme, titled MJOLNIR Mix, had the guitar portion done entirely by Steve Vai who returned to re-record it for the Halo 2 Anniversary remaster soundtrack. Also there IS a Halo TV show, however I highly suggest you never watch it. They rebooted pretty much every single aspect of the characters and lore to the point where it's almost unrecognizable. So for someone like me who was super invested in the characters and lore, it was such a travesty after waiting so long for it. Other than that, there is a fantastic anime anthology series called Halo Legends that is mostly canon save for one episode, and two live action web series that are canon to the games, "Forward Unto Dawn" and "Nightfall". Forward Unto Dawn is good, Nightfall is 50/50. Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp were supposed to work on a Halo movie around the time Halo 3 released, but it fell through by 2010 resulting in Neil Blomkamp making District 9 instead.
