acquiring a first location of the first virtual object in the virtual scene and a second location of the sound source object in the virtual scene;

determining a spatial relationship between the first location and the second location in the virtual scene; and

displaying an object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship, wherein there is a second azimuth scale in the compass information corresponding to the object prompt identifier that indicates a presence of a sound source producing a sound in a direction consistent with the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location in the virtual scene.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location comprises a distance relationship and an azimuthal relationship; and

displaying the object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship comprises:

determining a display attribute of the object prompt identifier based on the distance relationship between the first location and the second location;

determining the second azimuth scale based on the azimuthal relationship between the first location and the second location; and

displaying the object prompt identifier near the compass information according to the display attribute and the second azimuth scale.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the display attribute comprises:

acquiring a target distance between the first location and the second location; and

determining, according to a mapping relationship between the target distance and the display attribute, the display attribute of the object prompt identifier in the compass information.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the display attribute comprises at least one of a size of the object prompt identifier, a display transparency of the object prompt identifier, a color of the object prompt identifier, and a display shape of the object prompt identifier.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the second azimuth scale based on the azimuthal relationship comprises:

acquiring an azimuth angle of the second location relative to the first location; and

determining the second azimuth scale based on the azimuth angle.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein displaying the object prompt identifier according to the display attribute and the second azimuth scale comprises:

in accordance with a determination that the azimuth angle exceeds a display angle threshold of the compass information:

displaying object prompt identifier indication information according to the display attribute and the second azimuth scale, wherein the object prompt identifier indication information indicates that the object prompt identifier exists outside the display angle threshold of the compass information, and wherein the display angle threshold indicates a maximum angle range that can be displayed by the compass information that centers on the orientation of the first virtual object.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying an object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship comprises:

acquiring a camp to which each of the first virtual object and the sound source object belongs; and

in accordance with a determination that the first virtual object and the sound source object are in different camps:

displaying the object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying an object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship comprises:

acquiring a sound type of the sound produced by the sound source object, wherein the sound type indicates a sound production manner; and

displaying the object prompt identifier near the compass information according to the sound type and based on the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location, wherein different sound types correspond to different types of object prompt identifiers.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying an object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship comprises:

refreshing and displaying the object prompt identifier near the compass information based on a time interval at which the sound source object produces sounds and the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

in accordance with a determination that a time length in which the object prompt identifier is not refreshed and displayed exceeds a time length threshold:

deleting the object prompt identifier.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein deleting the object prompt identifier comprises:

in accordance with a determination that a difference between a latest refresh time of the object prompt identifier and a current time exceeds the time length threshold:

decreasing a transparency of the object prompt identifier using a preset gradient until the transparency of the object prompt identifier is zero.

12. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

displaying a virtual scene picture corresponding to a first point of view from a first virtual object;

superimposing and displaying compass information on the virtual scene picture, wherein there is a first azimuth scale in the compass information that indicates an orientation of the first virtual object in the virtual scene; and

in response to a sound source object producing a sound in the virtual scene,

acquiring a first location of the first virtual object in the virtual scene and a second location of the sound source object in the virtual scene;

determining a spatial relationship between the first location and the second location in the virtual scene; and

displaying an object prompt identifier near the compass information based on the spatial relationship, wherein there is a second azimuth scale in the compass information corresponding to the object prompt identifier that indicates a presence of a sound source producing a sound in a direction consistent with the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location in the virtual scene.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the spatial relationship between the first location and the second location comprises a distance relationship and an azimuthal relationship; and
