Redcomet's Municipal Sound Pack

Description
Redcomet's Municipal Sound Pack :


A sound pack to be used together with the Ambient Sounds Tuner mod.
I'm an audio professional which results in many pet peeves about sound in games. Cities Skylines' original sound design is ok but there still are a few things that start to drive me (and possibly others) crazy after playing hours and hours.
Thanks to the excellent Ambient Sounds Tuner mod it was quite easy for me to design and implement a lot of new audio.

- More subtle and less repetitive background ambiences.
- All car and truck sounds are new and more varied. In a future update trains and other vehicles will follow.
- Emergency services have new, unique and less loud sirens ( with some variations to safeguard your sanity when they decide to hit the streets all at once)
- Last but not least I replaced the random animal sounds with silence. Yes, I killed the seaguls.


Dependencies:

You will need the Ambient Sounds Tuner mod V2 :https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=591137516
In the options menu of the AST mod you'll have to select 'Redcomet's Municipal Sound Pack' to get the sounds loaded in the game.

Issues:

- It's possible and easy to set your own custom volumes in the AST options menu in case some sounds are too quiet or loud for your taste.
- This is just a Sound Pack so for most bugs I'd have to refer you to Archomeda, the creator of the Ambient Sounds Tuner mod. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=591137516

Hit the comments if you have any requests, issues that aren't related to the Ambient Sounds Tuner mod or just want to say thanks ( or, if you really feel like it,express how much you think this Sound Pack sucks ;) )

@Mr.Redcomet

I thought it only plays slower for people with lagging issues; I never had lagging issues and they sounded pretty similar in-game to the original files. Basically I made my own private sound pack (for my own use, not shared with anyone or on the workshop) which I made by downloading all of the sound packs and choosing the individual best files for each sound (i.e. your pack for Suburban Night, JP sound pack for Suburban Day, etc). I chose the sounds based on what they sounded like when I played them off-game, so I'll test them and see which ones I'll like/use. That's why I hoped you had the original sounds still, because I have no way of comparing the sounds between different packs to see what they're like :( I guess I can reduce the playback speed in VLC when trying them out, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't sound that sped-up in-game because I've never had that lagging issue before.

@alborzka The sound files are indeed played a slower speed in the game. It's a bit of a hack to reduce memory consumption that doesn't seem to have a too negative impact on the sound quality. Any reason why you need the original files ?

If that's related to the reduced sound files, is there any chance you could upload the original sound files (maybe as a separate mod) for those of us who don't experience the lagging issues?
alborzka 1 Jan, 2019 @ 12:08pm 
For some reason the office (and hospital etc) file sounds very... sped up? Like it's being fast forwarded or played at 4x speed, is that what its supposed to sound like?

Thank you so much for this mod! You have no idea how happy it makes me that I no longer have to listen to the annoying beeping buildings and the obnoxious car honking sounds anymore. This along with the CSL Music Mod have completely changed things for me.

You need a thumbnail for this

This is the best mod for Cities, it prevents your ears and brains going insane after hours of playing. Good quality shit right there.

Glad to read this :)
It's a great game but the original audio just doesn't cut it if you have to listen to it for hours. A problem a lot of paradox published games seem to have (I also had to make a crusader kings 2 audio mod for the same reason)
