How do I use Hammer for my source mod and How do I import sound into hammer?

The title says it all. If i don't learn this I won't be able to create my mod.

1. You want to learn hammer?
Well, let me quote something I said:
I believe at least for me, the secret formula is this:
Experience = Valve Developer Community + 3Kliksphilip + TopHattWaffle + Make some maps, and then suddenly you are a pro
VDC (Valve Developer Community) - Tells you basically everything you need to know, seperately, i mean, you can search every entity, but not a technique. But still the holy grail of 90% of all learned things, the other 10% is either self-learned or showed, like from the following people below:

3Kliksphilip - Tells you in seconds the most useful stuff.
TopHattWaffle - Shows you the stuff in examples.
Applies to how to use hammer, not gamemode specific mapping, like Prop Hunting in Gmod, or Zombie Escape in CSS (cant seem to find any at alll), but once you know what to do, youll know how to do it, applies to almost anything.

2. You want custom sounds?
For singleplayer games like halflife2 you need to go to <game>/hl2/sounds/
The /hl2/ folder can be /cstrike/, /hl2dm/, /csgo/, /portal/, /dod/, /bms/, /doi/ etc depending on what game you do it for.
Most multiplayer games use custom sounds, you just need to go to for example: cstrike/custom/<make folder with any name>/sounds/ and put the sound there
For newer games that doesnt support custom, and have VPKs, make a folder /sound/, and go to the bin folder of the game, put the folder into VPK.exe and itll create a VPK, put it into /cstrike/ (can be /csgo/ etc...) folder.

Just make sure the sound is 44100 Hz frequency or it wont work in hammer, as well as in game. This can easily be done if you download the widely used Audacity, and just load the sound, look at the bottom left of the program and there is the frequency. Save it in .WAV 16 bit Signed PCM (by default actaully).

Thanks. I do frequent VDC alot but it's never really explained it as well as you just did. However when I said How do I use hammer for my mod I didn't mean I don't know how to map. I mean't how do I do what source sdk did and launch Hammer for my specific mod file?

You want to lauch hammer but dont know how? I didnt understand.
If thats the case go to bin folder and run hammer.exe
