This is a good little mod. I know it changes nothing but the numbers, but it just makes it seem more believable.

That is, if the units are ever established, which in most publications would be a requirement.
We don't know what 0dB is in UBOAT, they never tell us. So it doesn't matter what the dB values print, it's entirely arbitrary. Making use of this, I just pull down the displayed number by an arbitrary 34dB

Keep in mind. Approximately the same noise level data for air and water differ in intensity by about 26 dB at their respective reference pressure.

For comparability, which is already questionable, around 26 dB must be deducted from the water noise.

84 dB water -> 58 dB air (normal conversation), with the ingame effects as example (alarm, bluelight, crew bonus, multiple ironfist) you can reduce the noise to 66 dB water -> 40 dB air (close to whispering). Kindly regards A.U.

It just changes from one arbitrary unit to another. It shouldn't affect gameplay at all, other than fix the main issue, which is that the number is too big. 84 dB is associated with "loud" by many, so this mod makes it less.

from the display only, or reduction Is effective?
(no offense intended)
