"out of hyperjump"-sound is a relationship-killer

GF is annoyed :)

Any chance to mod this sound? The rest is perfect, but this one is actually really annoying.

Wait.... space has sound?

On a more serious note, this is a problem that you are having, not a problem with the game. Games aren't patched because of one person's personal problems.
 
I love the sound.
Any chance to mod the GF ?

Time for an upgrade?

Or.... headphones. Problem solved...

I love all the sounds in E : D. They really nailed it in this department, although other ships seem to be a bit quieter in the release version.

If you *really* want to annoy somebody, keep honking your discovery radar. :D

All the "outside" sounds you hear are generated by your hud/canopy. When that goes, all you hear are the silent footfalls of Death.

Even all that gunfire that completely misses me? I have to admit - I'd love a "space sound" option in this game that completely removed all sound that has no medium to travel through to get to you. So the only weapons sounds you'll hear are when you're actually being hit, and of course, you won't hear your own hitting other stuff either.
 
Here's a possible solution.

Mute your systems volume? Make laser hitting your hull sound with your vocal cord. Another problem solved.

Dude, if you don't want to use headphones, and it's really annoying her that badly, use a program like voice attack or something that creates macro's. Set it to disable life support before a jump, and switch itself back on once you arrived. I could probably create one for you pretty quickly.. near silent warp travel.
 
In our house every time the computer says "Engaging Friendship drive" I get a kiss..
Stops you noticing the noises afterwards...

slightly off topic
I do have the music turned off, but I end up doing this with every game, It's nice, but not all the time...

Its not just the sound, but the fact its much louder than the rest of the sounds.

What bothers me the most is the gunshot sound dropping out of super cruise. If I have the volume at a level where I can hear the UI sounds I need to tell what the game is doing, the gun shot sound is so incredibly loud, it shocks the baby and everybody raises their heads. If I lower the settings where the gunshot sound is at a non-annoying level, all the other sounds are almost inaudible.

Just like the annoying dynamic range in Movies. If you can hear the conversations, the sound effects are going to wake up everyone in the house. If you have it low enough for the action scenes not to disturb anybody, you can't understand when they're talking.

I've never found a working compressor for windows sound output to shrink the dynamic range (difference in volumes of various sounds or music)

So I second the OP, can we please get less dynamic range or the two sounds after hyper jump and after dropping out of super cruise changed out for lower volume ones? So this game can be played without headphones by people who don't live alone?

Pfft, give her the headphones. The sound isn't bothering you.

Its bothering me too. Giving her a headset won't solve it. Too loud, and why a gunshot on dropping out of super cruise?
