v21.64

New mix of Musical Road melody "America the Beautiful" implemented at the Historic Route 66. [ATS edition]
Tried to better replicate the four horn sequence for trains at crossings. [ATS edition]

v21.63

Finetuned sound volumes for brake whistle sound.

v21.62

Adjusted fade-out of locomotive sounds. [ATS edition]
Shortened 1 brake whistle sound.
Optimizations for sound files without quality loss.

v21.61

Real EMD SD40 audio applied to the EMD SD40 locomotive. [ATS edition]
Steel bell sounds added for EMD SD40 locomotives at slow speeds. [ATS edition]
Additional short brake whistle sounds added, and reduced probability of the brake whistle sound.
Optimizations for sound files without quality loss.

Compatibility notice:
The new unique train sound may be only partially compatible with train mods replacing default locomotive definitions.
This may occur with mods such as long train mods.
If you prefer longer trains, put the other train mod in higher priority, although the sound will fallback to default.
If you would like the unique sounds, keep the Sound Fixes Pack in higher priority, although the train length will be as default.

For map mods enforcing long train lengths, it is recommended to ensure locomotive definitions are standalone for the best compatibility.

v21.60

Brake whistle can now be more reliably audible when you use the brakes to come to a complete stop.
Enhanced wind buffeting effect.

v21.59

For all the train fans, the default freight car sounds have been modified with meticulous details:
- Complete sound set for the rails, wheels, and axles that dynamically change over various speeds.
- Dynamic sound volume effects to fade the sounds of the freight car realistically based on proximity.
- Various squeaks and squeals of the freight car that can be heard at low speeds.

Finally replaced the default diesel train locomotive sounds!
The sound includes much more detail than the default sound, including:
- Brake squeals when stopping.
- Improved sound transitions of idle, acceleration, and deceleration.
- Completely reworked soundset of the engine, with a fuller spectrum of frequencies.
- Most importantly, realistic volume fall-off. It will only be loud in close proximity.

v21.57

After an amazing discovery, the reefer / refrigerated trailer sounds have been updated to include a highly requested change:
By extending the functionality of the wind sounds, the reefer trailer sound can now play while driving.

It's still a workaround since it's not a standard feature in the game yet, but until then we can pioneer the sound this way! Previous trailer mods that activate the reefer sounds from this pack in 1.41 are forwards compatible with this update. This feature is optional and requires activation by a reefer sound addon or trailer mod to enable the sound.

Important information to take note from this new change:

- This relies on the wind sound to "carry" the reefer sound once you drive, so other wind sound mods won't be compatible.
- "Noise of the flowing air" must be activated in the Audio settings.
- Due to the way the wind sounds are optimized in game, it cannot sustain the reefer sound at 0 km/h for long.
- The reefer sounds should kick back in once you set off, however.
- The Trailer Noise slider controls the sound volume of the reefer startup noise and sound loop of a new cycle.
- The Truck Noise slider controls the sound volume of the reefer sound loop when driving.
- It is recommended to have both sliders at the same volume (50%) for consistency.
- If you want to take a break and keep the reefer idling such as when you are at a truck stop:
Simply disconnect and reconnect the trailer to reactivate the cycle.
This will allow you to hear the reefer when you are idle or parked. It can be a relaxing white noise this way.

Regarding what the refrigerated trailer sound can be confirmed to work with:

✔️ Freight Market: Confirmed to work.
✔️ External Contracts: Confirmed to work.
✔️ Quick Jobs: Can work, but you need to disconnect and reconnect the trailer to start the cycle.
❌ Ownable Trailers: Not applicable.

v21.56

Implemented smoother transitions for rain sound intensity.
New variations in sound of the standalone air horn (does not apply to the in-cabin view).

With certain camera views, the standalone air horn can be used creatively to output a different sound.
This includes:
1. Quickly using the horn
2. Laying on the horn
3. Using 1 air horn rather than 2
4. Taking advantage of the doppler effect, tunnels, or from being further away from your truck

v21.55

Ending of each trailer brace rotation sound now has another possible variation.
