Stronger Sound Muffling Inside the Cab

Since 1.43 it's possible to emulate how the cab insulation muffles the sound of the engine and outside world.

This simply changes EQ settings for the sound inside the cab with the windows closed.

• game versions: 1.43-1.45 (please report issues in the comments)
  
• SCS trucks not included: Scanias and New Actros. For now I recommend you use the free enigne sound mods by Max2712 that come with fine-tuned settings, with roughly the same level of muffling.
  
• unfortunately some mod trucks do not support other mods to overwrite these sound settings

People will say: "But I want to hear my engine." That's ok. And then this may not be for you. But then I talk to people, and they say: "You know, in reality modern trucks are really surprisingly quite". It's up to your personal preference.

This is heavily inspired by Max2712's newer engine sounds. Other modders added custom insulation, too, e.g. Harven with the HX520 and W990.

I wanted to avoid extreme settings, but achieve a noticeable effect. There is already some variation between the SCS trucks. Based on this information, I roughly approximate values for each truck.

For older trucks you wouldn't expect cab insulation to be as strong as in modern trucks. See "Classic truck" below.

Use this mod, and then slightly open the windows to mix in the unfiltered exterior sound.

• SlavJerry published one in the SCS forums[forum.scssoft.com]. Check out his sound modding work!
  
• There's Sherman's Real Soundproofing. See what fits your personal taste.
  
• Some truck or engine sound mods already come with adjustments to these settings. See "Mod order and conflicts".

Cabin sound attenuation settings can be included e.g. in truck mods, or engine sound mods.

If you find any high-quality sound mod with really good muffling, e. g. Max's, by all means put them at higher priority!

• most SCS trucks as of 1.45, except the Scanias and New Actros, since they're covered by Max2712
  
• Actros MP2 and MP3 by Dotec, because those are the only popular mod trucks I know that got updated to support cab insulation settings
  
• Ford F-MAX by TeamSimulasyonTurk, with this compatibility add-on (ATTENTION: place above truck, but below this mod)
  
• {LINK REMOVED}MAN F2000 by XBS

• If I ever go dark:
  I totally allow anybody to pick up work on any of my mods. Credit is more than enough.
  
• Until then:
  In the case of an issue or update taking too long, if you can prepare an update, I'll be happy to upload it.
