Is it possible this mod also alters the volumes of the soundblock files? They seem to be so quiet...
And if not, is there a config file we can mess around? :)

I could have sworn this used to work with the realistic sound profile, has something changed?

Worked ( 1.207, apex ). Thx!

This did nothing. Is there a setting somewhere?

As someone with an auditory processing disorder (particularly with loud and "static" sounds) this mod is a life saver. I can actually interpret what I am hearing when using tools and around my machines without my brain just shutting off its ability to analyze sounds.

In future, if you could add some sort of config menu or system that makes things easier to edit, similar to what is in Satisfactory, then that would be amazing. It's just a little hard to figure out which sound files actually represent each sound to manually edit the config if that's even possible. (I only briefly looked at it to see how it worked)

Thank you so much for the mod

Thank you for restoring my sanity, as someone who has used a pneumatic drill in RL yes the sounds are realistic, but in RL I put on ear defenders to use this tool... So Thank you for providing those very needed ear defenders.

When running this on a server i get the following errors for sneaky sounds. Not sure if it actually hurts anything, just wanted you to be aware.

Sneaky Sounds: Missing sound definition for sound ID LrgShipLrgJetHydrogen
Sneaky Sounds: Missing sound definition for sound ID LrgShipSmJetHydrogen
Sneaky Sounds: Missing sound definition for sound ID SmShipLrgJetHydrogen
Sneaky Sounds: Missing sound definition for sound ID SmShipSmJetHydrogen

Nice mod, also like your videos Splitsie

thanks for fix

Works well now, no deafening tool sounds anymore, ty.

good morning and thanks for the quick fix
enjoy breakfast ;)

Sorry about the deafening few hours everyone :P

Should be fixed now, if reloading your save doesn't work, try restarting SE to get Steam to trigger the update :)

does that error cause the sounds to not work?

Curses! I should know better than to post an update just before I go to bed. I'll fix this up as soon as I can 🙂

Hey, got now this Error in the logs .. i dont feel that anything is not working as should be .. but still here the logs.

work around for the time being
using configurable parameters mod
thanks for the tip wArLocK

i thought it was my fault but its is actually recent that the mod stopped working :(

+1 to other people. Tools are loud :(

Same, tools are back to being annoyingly loud again...

Same here, tools and doors are back to being very loud.

Yup The tools are right noisy again, hopefully be a quick fix. That took me by suprise there haha. Noisy welding :¬)

havent messed with thrustres yet , but as of right now the tools are deafening again :) seems something broke in the fix :0

Good news everyone! I've finally been pointed in the right direction and have been able to tone down the deafening thruster sounds when you're pushing any button to move anywhere, no more horrible static sounds when you're flying your hydrogen powered ships!

It should also impact the other thrusters, but they're not as bad to begin with

this mod is absolute trash, my hearing is so bad from the vanilla sounds that this is so quieter that i cant hear anything. (this is just a joke)

update?

Many of the requests in here can be accomplished with a few easy edits of the config file. For anyone uncomfortable with that I would strongly suggest dropping this mod for Configurable Parameters since it will allow you to customize nearly every sound in the game with easy UI sliders

I recently unsubscribed to the mod and removed it, but all the sound effects are very quite yet sound from menu screen is fine. I've reinstalled the game, and deleted the world it was in. Sounds still quite in new game on new installation. This mod has ruined my ability to play the game.

Thank you! What a relief.

I actually find the loud tool sounds kind of satisfying, because I heard a lot of construction work when I was a teenager and it feels right. My problem is the super-loud thruster sounds (atmospheric ones, to be sure). Any chance you could be persuaded to fix those?

Finally Found a Mod to quite the storms. They are unnecessarily loud. I know there realistic, but I like to listen to music in the background.

Does this work on the Contact update?

Was the latest mod I added to my safe. Disabled target locking. Had to get rid of it again. Might needs some looking into. Didn't test if it's the mod alone or a specific combination.

my uhmm ackchtualllllyyyyy moment here: the sounds with a decible rating higher than what damages ears over a long period of time would be muffled, as the active noise protection your suit has would muffle the sounds to safe levels . in real life, this already exists in all forms of ear protection; over ear and in ear.

A cool mod idea would be the exact same drill effect sound but heard as if through ear protection when the helmet is closed, and normal sound when its open. realistic.

i should learn to mod...

My neighbors want to send you a thank you basket.
Must have mod.

Makes it possible to listen to Youtube videos while drilling.

Hi i have just one issure with this mod. since i loaded it. if im docked in a Kryo chamber or Cockpit it shows that the powergrid is offline.

Do you know if there's a mod that disables all "wheel driving over dirt" sound? Keen has still refused to fix the bug where the sound persists even though you are in space on a ship without wheels, just because you have a suspension for landing gear. It's more practical not to have any wheel noise at all XD

Thank you SO much for this mod. I have sensory processing disorder (it's a symptom of autism, ADHD, and other disorders) which makes it hard for my brain to "filter" sensory input, so the drill sounds and the like were way too loud for me. I get that it's realistic, but it made drilling practically painful for me due to overstimulation. With this mod I can drill without having to turn the volume on my computer down and then back up every single time! Thank you!

Can you make less bright welder sparks?

Oh wait, does the atmosphere density influence it? Playing on Thanatos and its loudly as fuc@# but not as much on space

Its only me or this just stopped working if you create a new game? Its working on my old save....

Can you please move the last row of the description to the top? xD

It's only for Arcade Sound profile! oh crap! that's why!

Thanks for clarifying, Splitsie. Makes me feel better so that I can keep the mod on.

That's a vanilla sound bug, not related to this mod unfortunately.

Hello! I notice that sometimes the sound of a hydrogen engine or other rumblings will suddenly get stuck in a loop even after turning them off or leaving atmosphere. Quitting to the main menu stops the sound loop, but it starts back up once I get around blocks that make sounds again.

I can't seem to be able to get it to work, sounds are still playing as loud as usual

I didn't really know where to ask, but could you or someone like Remaarn please make a tutorial for making a mod for Space Engineers, because I think that modding could be quite fun - only I have no idea where to start. Many thanks!

can you add the CryoPod Sounds to this mod
