Description
This is for those people who like hearing battle sounds loud while not being deafened by their grinder, welder and most of all drill.

This mod reduces the volume of hand tools, ship tools, weather, doors, placement sounds and a few others that often feel deafening, while leaving the explosions booming, gatlings cracking and letting you hear a little bit more of the atmospheric sounds (though not the deafening rain).

For everyone who loves a good action movie, but doesn't feel that mining is action, this one's for you!


A big thank you to Remaarn for writing this one, all I did was pick which sounds and how much to reduce the volume, he did everything else :)



Disclaimer: I love the game sounds and I don't think there's anything wrong with the volume of the tools, they make sense, it's realistic they'd be almost deafening. What I wanted here was something inherently unrealistic that would help me with making my videos so I didn't have to edit these volumes after recording.

This mod only works for the Arcade sound profile, it won't make any impact on realistic.

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...

Makes it possible to listen to Youtube videos while drilling.
