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)
  
• 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. SlavJerry[forum.scssoft.com]..

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 sound muffling to be as strong as in modern trucks.

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!

With just a little variation inside these, there are two groups:

Strong muffling:

• SCS trucks as of 1.45, except Kenworth W900 and Peterbilt 389
  
• Volvo VNL 2018 by Galimim

A little less strong muffling:

• SCS Kenworth W900 and Peterbilt 389
  
• Kenworth K100-E by MrOverfloater
  
• Mack R by Harven
  
• Freightliner FLB by Harven

  I totally allow anybody to pick up work on any of my mods. Credit is more than enough.

  In the case of an issue or update taking too long, if you can prepare an update, I'll be happy to upload it.
