GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The discovery suggests Apple is testing ambient sound as a new dimension for its screensaver feature, which could make the idle-screen experience more immersive on Apple TV 4K. Since only one screensaver shows evidence of this so far, it's unclear whether Apple intends to roll audio out broadly or keep it limited, and the feature could still change before any public release.
- tvOS 27 code contains hidden audio toggle options (On/Off/Reduced) for the Snoopy screensaver
- No Snoopy content packages currently include actual sound files, per the leaker
- It remains unconfirmed whether audio support will extend to other Apple TV screensavers
