mob.Move()//When they move
        for(var/mob/M in view(5)) //for every player in the view.
                if(!M) //if there is no mob in view.
                        src <<sound(null) //make them hear nothing.
                        return ..() //move and do everything like normal
                else //if there is a mob!
                        src <<sound("Sound",1) //play the sound
                        return ..() //move and do everything like normal

I think.

Problem: This'll start a new sound every time. You really should use a var to keep track of whether a sound is already playing, so you don't end up constantly replaying it.

!M will never evaluate to true if you're looping on mobs, and assigning them to M! If there are no mobs, the loops simply doesn't execute.
