Solved Reduce internal engine sound
-
@white_fang thankyou.
Well i set the 3 setting to 7000, didnt help much.
I,ll try 9000 tomorrow.
Now i do have my cockpit and rwr jacked up in the settings page,internal engine noise to one and earplugs in .
So we,ll that try tomorrow.
ThxOh,do i need to edit the other file too,
Cant remember its name right now. -
Hmm , did you mean -9000 (with a minus). ? (It must be minus in front, must!!!)
- but that is also one mysteries of old time , in code was mentioned that sample volume won’t be amplified if volume is positive , so only negative values , … so I guess , that was the reason I never tried positive values … since I was always interested in attenuating , rather then amplifying , … so I don’t know how/what would positive values give for a result … eg. 0 is “clean” sample loudness , original volume of sample
Yes , you need to edit only the new “proto” file , the old one (f4sndtbl) is not used as of 4.36 and , “preferably” all 3 values ecsStart/loop/end - so it has some consistency.
-
@white_fang ok thanks again,yes i had the minus in there,sorry didnt mention that .
Yeah i edited all three start loop end.
Check at -9000 tomorrow.
And ok on the old file. -
@white_fang well,apparently thats not my problem.
Still to loud,i even set it to -10000, still there .
Turned internal engine sound all the way down.
Turned cockpit and rwr all the way down, still there.
So whether its the winds effect on the jet or/and the engine noise, im sure,just cant seem to tone it down.
It definitely gets louder the faster you go.
Yes i know its suppossed to be that way but for some reason in my headphones its extremely loud.
Im all for realism, i even try to mostly use in cockpit switches,that ,my hostas and now foxvox,i never touch the keyboard once in sim.
Maybe just my hearing,as it is bad. O well.
Thanks.Edit, also realized you must edit that file in all theaters .
-
@oldtommyboy … Ha, yes. Edit the proto file for theater you’re flying … as “Sounds” dir is theater dependent … every theater “can”! have its own sounds.
Did it work now ??
- Btw, that what are you referring could be different sound then ECS.
Think it is “AOA” sounds or “buffeting”. … IF it is influenced by airspeed when flying… won’t hear them when still on the ground. - In 4.35 … I had to reduce those AOA sounds also… as they were quite loud., especially in Harrier
- Btw, that what are you referring could be different sound then ECS.

@white_fang hello again sir.
Well scince update 2, i havent even flown yet .
I uninstalled everything,reinstalled bms only and have only had time to reapply all my settings and a quick te just to make sure my settings work .
Havent made any adjustments to sound,just in the ui.
Might get a flight in today hopefully.Edit,so i started a campaign, took a flight,anything over around 350 knots,it just gets louder and louder.
Maybe its just my hearing now, dont know.
Definitely not saying anything bad or something wrong in sim !!
O well,might just have to give up on headphones. -
@oldtommyboy maybe this is the file that is causing you grief. It was for me. Sometimes so loud I couldn’t hear the radio comms. So I made an edit and now much better for me.
Go to your Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\Sounds\Common and find the file named airflowcanopy.ogg rename it to something else, like airflowcanopyA.ogg then paste in the file in this link and rename it to airflowcanopy.ogg.
Let me know if that helped.
-
@Badger thanks,i,ll give it a try.
im assuming when i rename your file,adding the ogg is not nessesary because the orginal and all the others dont add ogg to the file. -

-
@Badger yep,thats what i did.thx
dont know when i,ll get a chance to take a flight.
next day or 2 i hope. -
@Badger ok, my golly i think that did it, have to check again tomorrow.
i did notice it also changes the volume in the ui, the external engine sounds and sound effects, both of which i can turn up now and not blast my eardrums.
gonna check that again tomorrow though.
awesome,finally,hopefully so i can use the headset.
thankyou thankyou thankyou,it was driving me nuts. -
@oldtommyboy your very welcomed. Glad that it worked for you.
-
@Badger damn old age,fogot i had to do this in each theater.sheesh.
-
@oldtommyboy I can relate as I’m an old fart too.
Yes, every theater but, at least it’s better for you now. -
@Badger yup,thx again
-
@Badger
I knew it was one of the “flow” sounds … just not which one.Yeah , that’s the prob with sounds overall , it is “impossible” to equalize them in “friendly” manner on every equipment/situation.
I missed the old-school explosions , eg… Mk84(bsu) in low pass … kinda grows hair a bit on 7.1 setup/phones - but then “reality” has kicked in and we kinda lost all that with wind flow , engine sounds.
I mean … where is fun in that
And this can’t really easy-fix with just turn all vol sliders up …So… we… errr … cheated reality a … little
Cheers
MATE!!! You don’t have to EDIT every proto file in every theater … if you check them with … dunno , simple file - compare … you’ll see they are VERY PROBABLY - ALL THE SAME
So, edit the one , preferably KTO one , make a bak for dunno … just wasting a bit of disk space …
AND THEN … copy your new file to every other theater , and overwrite.
TA-DA- writing this takes longer then operation above
Cheers to you too also!!
-
@white_fang thats about what i did,made a backup of the orignal kto file,then copied the mod to whatever theater.
I still have to remember to do it !!!
Hell,with mod i can now hear the wind effect when the air brakes are open.
Thats nice,could allmost feel it now . -
The file in “what” link? I get the same problem too

Thank you for providing the replacement AirflowCanopy.ogg file; it’s working well for me.
