Turn the default sound down for CV shelling in tower
« on: April 06, 2009, 09:38:23 AM »
Nothing more annoying than moving to a CV and hearing the most alarming explosions that could possibly come out of your speakers.  The windows shake, the dog wakes up, the neighbors call the cops.  It seems to be two times as loud in the tower than on the runway and ten times as loud as any other sound in the game at the default sound levels. 

Sure you can try to find the right custom sound explosion to turn down, but I think the default sound is a wee bit excessive.  :)

This has been asked for several times over the years.

I wonder why HTC has not mad ship gun sounds something you can adjust.

I have blown at least 6 sets of headphones because of this very thing.

Yeah you can turn it down(forgot what its name is, some sort of explosion) but the new computers, new players, reinstalled game...have to deal with this.  Annoying is an understatement and like Wmlute said, it has even broke his sound equipment.

I just looked again for the sound setting.

I went through the list and tried anything that looked like it would be it.

Could somebody tell me exactly what sound I can turn down?

(I still don't think there is one...)

I know its "realistic", but yeah the 8" through a headset are damage-your-hearing loud. short of editing the sound files and atten them by 50% I havent found a way of making them quieter :mad:

the only way I have found to adjust this sound is to turn everything down and then you can't hear vox. I see no reason not to fix this given that all other sounds are adjustable and for those using head phone this can be a health issue.

Into one of the many sounds packs u can find what u want.
Sorry don't remember the name.
And if you want to reduce the sound, then u can use sound recorder.
