Hello
Cristi97,
I think I have identified the problem for the missing sounds for several units. Some of the unit-names for SE and SS units in the row "# Unit icon" of the section "# Effects table" in the file "efx.pzdat", which is located in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder, are simply missing and some are spelled wrong, i. e. they do not match the names of the used graphic icons in the Amulet Mod 3.
Important:
Be sure You make a safecopy of the original file before You start editing it (save the safecopy with another name of course like "efx_original.pzdat")! If something goes wrong while or after editing the file, You can copy back the safecopy of the original file (don't forget to rename it then again back to "efx.pzdat") into the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder.
---
You can then open the file with the Windows Editor or with MS-Excel or a similar program.
First You have to look for the lines with the names of the regular units, which do not have sounds in their SE and SS versions in the Amulet Mod 3. Mark these complete lines, copy and insert them into the SE and SS parts of the same section without overwriting the existing lines there (as I already wrote, there are also some lines with not completely missing but just wrong spelled unit names in the SE and SS parts of the section, but it is not very easy to identify them exactly for overwriting them directly and so it is much safer just to ignore them and let them belong where they are).
Second You have to put the phrase "SE_" before the names in the row "# Unit icon" of the new inserted lines in the SE part of the section "# Effects table" and the phrase "SS_" before the names in the row "# Unit icon" of the new inserted lines in the SE part of the section "# Effects table" .
Third You have to save the edited file in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder, but with the original ending ".pzdat", not as ".txt", ".xlsx", … (!)

Example from the original section "# Effects table" in the file "efx.pzdat" (here You already see two lines marked in red for the regular versions of the "Hummel_AT.png" and "Hummel_Aty.png" which have no sounds in their SE and SS versions in the Amulet Mod 3):
# Effects table
# Assigns shooting animations and movement sounds to unit icons
# Offset is used to properly align animation with unit's icon. Order is the same as in the unit icon file: big icon facing right, big icon facing left, small icon facing right, small icon facing left
# Each unit can have up to 3 different animations, for ground attack and air attack separately.
# Offsets Ground attack animations Air attack animatons Movement sounds

-> First mark them completely, copy them and insert them into the SE part of the section without overwriting existing lines there.
The SE part now should look like this:
# Effects table
# Assigns shooting animations and movement sounds to unit icons
# Offset is used to properly align animation with unit's icon. Order is the same as in the unit icon file: big icon facing right, big icon facing left, small icon facing right, small icon facing left

-> Third save the edited file in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder and start Panzer Corps. It should work perfectly then for all of the artillery units should have the dedicated sounds in the Amulet Mod 3.
Last but not least: Many thanks to Messmann for making one of the best Mods for my all time favorite game Panzer Corps! 
Best regards
