Hi, Agreed. I also start the ones nearest the player first, and turn off the sounds that are suppose to be out of earshot per say. A simple timer feature or UpdateSound() function can check all the sounds if it is in range and if it is out of range. The ones in range can be started while the ones out of range are stopped until needed. This might also save in CPU time processing and looping unnecessary effects.
