Maybe they can replace the moans with non-stop swearing as long as you're wounded. Both realistic and adds variety ;-)

 

I'm looking forward to nonstop swearing in British English, American English, Greek, Farsi, French and Chinese.

Thats... that would be amusing actually. XD

FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

[maquez 141]

best BI could do, make this moaning stop once you used a first aid kit...

for now it's terrible annoying and sounds really stupid... it drives me really away from playing any longer this game

 

it is so annoying that I started to throw grenades near my feet's ground, so at least I can die and this bothering porn moaning stop's

I am not brain dead, I do not need any disturbing boring acoustic aids to remind me that I am wounded.

1st off want to thanks the Audio team -OFP has never sounded better!

 

 Ive noticed that sounds seem very quiet when in 3rd person either speaking or in a vehicle sounding very quiet UNLESS you turn your view to the sides which then seem to capture the noise. I get the idea but it seems a little heavy handed to the point were Ill hear a soldier speaking loudly to my right but if i turn my head mid sentence the sound is totally gone. Im on Stable btw.

I notice that the landscape wind noise is now very prominent, regardless of wind strength. setwindstr 0 will still results in almost overpowering wind noises depending on the map. Is this something being worked on further? 

[Zakuaz 195]

Yeah that chronic wind is loud, maps like N'Djenahoud  that sit up at around 600 elevation are very noisy to try and do stuff on.

[tpM 478]

Also it kicks in when editing loadout. Very annyoing.

[Von Quest 1163]

Wind is VERY annoying. Way too loud. Trees seem to produce wind noise even when wind is set to 0. I'd like to see this looked into as well.

How could a map like this get past me?

Just wow, that terrain is really nice.

 

Agree on the wind part, it's as if you're doing a halo drop.

Hello guys, 

We are looking into your reports on the loud ambient wind. 
I have reached out to some of you personally to get some more info and it is currently under investigation.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
BW

[tpw 2315]

Thanks BW, we appreciate the response!

[BraveWooky 23]

Some tweaks were committed and several cases should have been improved upon. We are continuously tweaking the environmental sound design further but for now, the intensity of wind layers at higher altitudes should be reduced. The changes will be mentioned in the changelog soon and should be in the next available DevBranch update. 
 

Please do not hesitate to PM me should any of you have any questions or further feedback.

Some objects still don't cast any sound during the rain (Stratis, Altis).

Tanoa vs Stratis

 

Not all trees are cast sound during the rain.

Not sure which department this would belong to, but at least building u_shed_ind_f.p3d on Malden uses 'being inside a building' sounds even though it has basically no walls at all.
You can find one at for example [6102.07,8956.14,0.246658], in Larche.

I've noticed the same thing in 1st person with build 142002, it seems the positional audio is broken. Any sounds directly in front or behind the player are almost completely silent. When walking, you can't hear your own footsteps unless you turn your head left or right. 

 

EDIT: In fact the 3d audio is not working at all. Put headphones on and then in game stand next to a tree with a cicada in it. Spin 360 degrees and notice that at no stage is the cicada in your left or right ear.  

 

EDIT: I am a @#$%ing idiot, it was my headphone amp playing up.

What about first person sound in vehicles - weapon sounds? Those are not muffled anymore, sounds exacly cristal as outside vehicle, same loudness etc, while engine sound work as intended (are muffled in 1p camera)

Sorry what do you mean, that doesn't make much sense. 

[Vasily.B 529]

I mean if you sit in the tank and using cannon or coaxial (while you have helmet on) machinegun should not sound the same as outside vehicle. Engine sounds diferent inside and outside vehicle.
It turned into like this after 1.62.

Yea I've always wondered that as well. The interior tank weapon sounds are the same as the exterior. So that fuckin high pitch 7.62 coax most of them have destroys you ears when it should be a muffled thud due to the sound getting blocked, same with the .50s. They have interior engine sounds, so I'm not 100% sure why interior sounds haven't been implemented for vehicles.

Thats the problem - they were applied before 1.60 or 1.62, but for some reason they arent now.

Same here.

If you're flying the blackfoot in first person the engine sounds like expected, then the gunner fires the cannon and you're jumping out of the seat because it's so incredibly loud.

 

On top of that when using 5.1 speaker setup the center channel is way too quiet most of the time, firing a rifle in first person has the left and right speakers do all the work, while the center speaker, where the gunfire should actually come from since the rifle is in front of you, is almost dead silent.

If you switch to third person and fire it sounds just fine.

Has been reported a few times already, guess it's probably more than a simple tweak then.

Tweaked: Reduced intensity for the Flora / Fauna / Wind layers in environmental sounds

Wind is too quiet now, i can barely hear it, even when wind is set to 1.

confirm on rc branch 1.72. wind is now  so non existent you unnaturally  hear creeks of the trees as if it is windy but no wind.
