Open the .snt file of the sound you want looping stop on with notepad or a similar text program, find the value "Loop=" and change it to false.

No i want the sound to be looped (already is) but stop when i want it

You need to use a timerloop such as this:
This will randomize when the sound plays and it's location, assuming you have setup several script areas(1 to 4) named "AreaCreak_#".
Code:
void BeginCreak(string &in asTimer)
{
int iCreak = RandFloat(1, 4);
float fCreak = RandFloat(5.5f, 12.5f);
PlaySoundAtEntity("creak1"+iCreak, "scare_wood_creak_mix.snt", "AreaCreak_"+iCreak, 0.0f, false);
AddTimer("creak", 15.0f+fCreak, "BeginCreak");
AddDebugMessage("Now Creaking in AreaCreak_: "+iCreak, false);
}This will randomize when the sound plays and it's location, assuming you have setup several script areas(1 to 4) named "AreaCreak_#".

Thx for the information but it's not the awnser :/
I will try another explication :
I made a script that make a flashback and start a sound (set to loop in the .snt) so it's looping but i can't stop it when the flashback is over...

Show your code.

Here it is (May contain spoilers on the last level from the Darkness,because it's the script from the last map of "The Darkness",i wanted to try)
As you can see after "void UseCrowbarOnDoor" and "void CollideAreaBreakDoor" i tried the sound string name for stopsound,it didn't worked,
I tried string name
.snt name
sound name with .ogg
sound name without .snt
Area Name
Nothing worked
Spoiler below!
Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaFlashback", "CollideAreaFlashback", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("crowbar_joint_1", "BreakDoor", "CollideAreaBreakDoor", true, 1);
AddUseItemCallback("crowbarondoor", "crowbar_1", "UseCrowbar","UseCrowbarOnDoor", true);
}
void CollideAreaFlashback(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
StartEffectFlash(2,1,2);
AddTimer("FlashbackTimer",2.0f,"FlashbackTimer");
SetSwingDoorLocked("DoorFlashback",true,false);
}
void FlashbackTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "FlashbackTimer")
{
SetEntityActive("crowbar_1", true);
SetEntityActive("TortureMan", true);
for(int i=1;i<=4;i++)
SetLampLit("candle_floor_" + i, true, false);
AddTimer("FlashbackTimer2",2.0f,"FlashbackTimer");
}
if(asTimer == "FlashbackTimer2")
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("24mb01","24_mb_01", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
}
if(asTimer == "FlashbackTimer3")
{
SetEntityActive("TortureMan", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_dyn_1", false);
for(int i=1;i<=4;i++)
SetLampLit("candle_floor_" + i, false, false);
DestroyParticleSystem("breakps");
}
}
void UseCrowbarOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
StopSound("24mb01",1);
AddTimer(asEntity, 0.2, "TimerSwitchShovel");
PlayPropAnimation("TortureMan", "squirm", 0.2f, true, "PrisonerSquirmOver");
PlaySoundAtEntity("pickupcrow","attack_claw_hit01.snt", "Player", 0.05, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_blood_tiny_splash", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
RemoveItem(asItem);
PlaySoundAtEntity("24mb03","24_mb_03", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
}
void TimerSwitchShovel(string &in asTimer)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("attachshovel","puzzle_place_jar.snt", asTimer, 0, false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", true);
}
void CollideAreaBreakDoor(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
StopSound("24mb03",1);
PlaySoundAtEntity("break","attack_claw_hit03", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("24mb","24_mb_04", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_blood_big_splash", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_blood_constant_splash", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_dyn_1", true);
StartEffectFlash(2,1,3);
AddTimer("FlashbackTimer3",3.0f,"FlashbackTimer");

Hm... looks fine. No idea what is wrong.

Try this:
Code:
void CollideAreaBreakDoor(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1) {
StopSound(asChild+"24mb03", 1);
PlaySoundAtEntity("break","attack_claw_hit03", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("24mb","24_mb_04", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_blood_big_splash", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_blood_constant_splash", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_dyn_1", true);
StartEffectFlash(2,1,3);
AddTimer("FlashbackTimer3",3.0f,"FlashbackTimer");
}

It don't work,the crowbar don't collide with BreakDoor anymore :/
I don't know what is wrong
Edit : I make it worked,it collide,but don't stop the sound,like there wasn't aschild and alstate,like before
