good morning and thanks for the quick fix
enjoy breakfast ;)

Sorry about the deafening few hours everyone :P
Splitsie  [author] 11 May @ 1:07pm 
Should be fixed now, if reloading your save doesn't work, try restarting SE to get Steam to trigger the update :)
Gemini Sierra 11 May @ 1:01pm 
does that error cause the sounds to not work?
Splitsie  [author] 11 May @ 12:59pm 
Curses! I should know better than to post an update just before I go to bed. I'll fix this up as soon as I can 🙂

work around for the time being

thanks for the tip wArLocK
ZonKY 11 May @ 6:44am 
i thought it was my fault but its is actually recent that the mod stopped working :(
JenfX 11 May @ 6:10am 
+1 to other people. Tools are loud :(
Ayeladdy 11 May @ 5:58am 
Same, tools are back to being annoyingly loud again...
PÁRKÁNY 11 May @ 5:41am 
Same here, tools and doors are back to being very loud.
Jedmunz 11 May @ 5:26am 
Yup The tools are right noisy again, hopefully be a quick fix. That took me by suprise there haha. Noisy welding :¬)
crazy clanny 11 May @ 4:21am 
havent messed with thrustres yet , but as of right now the tools are deafening again :) seems something broke in the fix :0
Splitsie  [author] 11 May @ 3:26am 
Good news everyone! I've finally been pointed in the right direction and have been able to tone down the deafening thruster sounds when you're pushing any button to move anywhere, no more horrible static sounds when you're flying your hydrogen powered ships!

It should also impact the other thrusters, but they're not as bad to begin with
Boiled Carlinhos Phenomenon 25 Mar @ 6:49pm 
this mod is absolute trash, my hearing is so bad from the vanilla sounds that this is so quieter that i cant hear anything. (this is just a joke)
kennet0508 16 Feb @ 8:23pm 
update?
wArLock 10 Dec, 2024 @ 5:38pm 
Many of the requests in here can be accomplished with a few easy edits of the config file. For anyone uncomfortable with that I would strongly suggest dropping this mod for Configurable Parameters since it will allow you to customize nearly every sound in the game with easy UI sliders
crutsinger.sarah 9 Dec, 2024 @ 4:23pm 
I recently unsubscribed to the mod and removed it, but all the sound effects are very quite yet sound from menu screen is fine. I've reinstalled the game, and deleted the world it was in. Sounds still quite in new game on new installation. This mod has ruined my ability to play the game.
a.mcbob 22 Nov, 2024 @ 8:34pm 
Thank you! What a relief.
weregamer 4 Nov, 2024 @ 3:42pm 
I actually find the loud tool sounds kind of satisfying, because I heard a lot of construction work when I was a teenager and it feels right. My problem is the super-loud thruster sounds (atmospheric ones, to be sure). Any chance you could be persuaded to fix those?
RussianSurvivor 28 Oct, 2024 @ 7:49pm 
Finally Found a Mod to quite the storms. They are unnecessarily loud. I know there realistic, but I like to listen to music in the background.
Rexxia 22 Oct, 2024 @ 12:10pm 
Does this work on the Contact update?
General of the Army D. Foster 17 Oct, 2024 @ 8:09am 
Was the latest mod I added to my safe. Disabled target locking. Had to get rid of it again. Might needs some looking into. Didn't test if it's the mod alone or a specific combination.
6-9 ACTUAL 9 Oct, 2024 @ 6:21pm 
my uhmm ackchtualllllyyyyy moment here: the sounds with a decible rating higher than what damages ears over a long period of time would be muffled, as the active noise protection your suit has would muffle the sounds to safe levels . in real life, this already exists in all forms of ear protection; over ear and in ear.

A cool mod idea would be the exact same drill effect sound but heard as if through ear protection when the helmet is closed, and normal sound when its open. realistic.

i should learn to mod...
Arock 28 May, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
My neighbors want to send you a thank you basket.
Must have mod.
Hugo Taiga 1 May, 2024 @ 11:29am 
Makes it possible to listen to Youtube videos while drilling.
ghostblast 19 Mar, 2024 @ 8:03am 
Hi i have just one issure with this mod. since i loaded it. if im docked in a Kryo chamber or Cockpit it shows that the powergrid is offline.
Solid Snack 3 Feb, 2024 @ 1:54am 
Do you know if there's a mod that disables all "wheel driving over dirt" sound? Keen has still refused to fix the bug where the sound persists even though you are in space on a ship without wheels, just because you have a suspension for landing gear. It's more practical not to have any wheel noise at all XD

Thank you SO much for this mod. I have sensory processing disorder (it's a symptom of autism, ADHD, and other disorders) which makes it hard for my brain to "filter" sensory input, so the drill sounds and the like were way too loud for me. I get that it's realistic, but it made drilling practically painful for me due to overstimulation. With this mod I can drill without having to turn the volume on my computer down and then back up every single time! Thank you!
clop1000 1 Oct, 2023 @ 11:24pm 
Can you make less bright welder sparks?
Sworn 12 Aug, 2023 @ 5:02pm 
Oh wait, does the atmosphere density influence it? Playing on Thanatos and its loudly as fuc@# but not as much on space
Sworn 12 Aug, 2023 @ 4:58pm 
Its only me or this just stopped working if you create a new game? Its working on my old save....
Cthulhu 16 May, 2023 @ 12:58pm 
Can you please move the last row of the description to the top? xD
Cthulhu 16 May, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
It's only for Arcade Sound profile! oh crap! that's why!
Zeralas 8 Apr, 2023 @ 7:53pm 
Thanks for clarifying, Splitsie. Makes me feel better so that I can keep the mod on.
Splitsie  [author] 8 Apr, 2023 @ 7:42pm 
That's a vanilla sound bug, not related to this mod unfortunately.
Zeralas 8 Apr, 2023 @ 2:07pm 
Hello! I notice that sometimes the sound of a hydrogen engine or other rumblings will suddenly get stuck in a loop even after turning them off or leaving atmosphere. Quitting to the main menu stops the sound loop, but it starts back up once I get around blocks that make sounds again.
Blaze77gun 14 Feb, 2023 @ 8:58am 
I can't seem to be able to get it to work, sounds are still playing as loud as usual
James 6 Feb, 2023 @ 10:16am 
I didn't really know where to ask, but could you or someone like Remaarn please make a tutorial for making a mod for Space Engineers, because I think that modding could be quite fun - only I have no idea where to start. Many thanks!
Alexander 2 Feb, 2023 @ 7:42pm 
can you add the CryoPod Sounds to this mod
Splitsie  [author] 28 Jan, 2023 @ 8:24pm 
Thanks for that, thought I'd caught all those earlier but apparently not :)
Master Baiter 28 Jan, 2023 @ 4:53am 
was getting log errors not found for these 2
ArcBlockAssemblerEnd3d
ArcBlockAssemblerProcessEnd3d
Because you cant target individual sounds
to make this work has to target subtype so in this case:
{ "ArcBlockAssembler", 0.1 },
{ "ArcBlockAssemblerProcess", 0.1 },
VeLikiy_HeXo4uXa 4 Nov, 2022 @ 11:25pm 
fantastic :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:
Ribbons0121R121 9 Sep, 2022 @ 2:01pm 
ahhh the wonderful sound of a grinder
Nockz 25 Aug, 2022 @ 5:11pm 
Any possibility of either removing or lessening the glare on the welder as well? This mod would be even more perfect! Many eyes would thank you. =P
Jean-Yves 23 Aug, 2022 @ 2:32pm 
Thanks my ears can finally live in peace
Jack Herer 13 Aug, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
T_T thanks.
