(Spoiler) About amaurots downfall

Hmm I wonder what happened with the source of the sound?
I think it was only said that zodiark fixed the chain reaction the sound caused but not the source of it itself, correct me If I am wrong.
If zodiark didn't destroy it ,then its really bad cause it would either have been split up too or its on another shard.

We don't know for certain exactly what Zodiark did. If we take Emet-Selch's description of events as truth, then its initial summoning entailed rewriting the very laws of reality to both correct the initial problem and rid the world of further damage done to it by the Ancients' runaway powers. The second summoning (or re-empowerment, depending) was used to restore the world's ability to sustain life as well as possibly creating some new lifeforms to inhabit it.

Since we don't know the source of the "sound," and we don't know what Zodiark did to stop it, this is entirely possible.

Of course, there are those who think Zodiark existed in some form before his summoning as a primal...what Hydaelyn says of Zodiark becoming ambitious and wanting to imbalance everything makes more sense if he plotted his embodiment, and that he used his limited powers before to make the sound, trigger a misuse of creation magics, and force the Ascians to embody him to solve a problem he created. If that's how it was, then the solution to the sound would be to just stop making it.

On the other hand, I sometimes wonder if the origin of the sound was something Lahabrea made that escaped Akadaemia Anyder. In which case like Archaeotania, yes indeed it could still be out there somewhere.

Since the "sound" seemed to use the Ascians' own creation magics to construct monsters to kill them, then it's possible that the origin point is still wandering around out there, and we'd never know. It would be unable to affect things. After all, its weapon was its enemies' weapons, and ordinary people don't have that can wellspring of power it can use against them.

EDIT: The more I think on it, the more I wonder. If the "Sound" or its origin point was not Zodiark, and not destroyed, then it could not only be around but it could be someone or something we've interacted with before. After all, if it has no powers but to use the powers of the Ancients against them, then it would only be dangerous or perhaps even recognized by them. It might not even affect sundered Ascians. A million hyur, mi'qote, roegadyn, lalafell, au ra, elezen, viera, and hrothgar could have traipsed by it, stumbled over it, chatted with it (if it's a sentient creature) and we would never know.

If that's the case, my money is on it being something we've previously interacted with, if only because the logic of a story demands that "the horror hidden in plain sight" must have actually been seen before by the audience.
