Is there any way to stop the annoying humming fridge noise?

[Mеченый]

I took over one of the new abandoned prefabs. It has a fridge that makes a loud humming noise that is very annoying. I smashed it thinking it would stop, now there is no fridge and the noise still persists. Is there anyway I can stop it?

Exactly the same here. :-)
Maybe the sound is linked with another part of the house (wall, oven, ???), like the outdoor luster is somehow connected with the balcony fence.

i had the same problem with a buzzing sign. not sure you can do anything except poke out your eardrums, which i advise against doing as then you will be completely deaf and wouldnt be able to hear zombies

It could either be a sound loop bug or another fridge in the nearby area. Try exiting the game and re-enter it to see if the humming continues.

I know in version 11 buzzing signs were a pita because you couldnt destroy them. In versoin 12 you could destroy them and kill the humming, d'loading ver 13 atm to see if that has changed.

yeah I have the same problem. found a nice house but the fridge is really loud at night. also there are always zombies at my house at night. not sure if that is normal or maybe the noise attracts them?

This could be rated as a cheat, so try this only in singleplayer or LAN games guys.
The following changes will remove these sounds cause I was not able to lower the volume.

0. Close your 7 Days App and Steam.

1. Locate your Steam / 7 Days To Die directory
e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\"

2. navigate to subdirectory Data/Config
e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config"

3. Backup sounds.xml to another filename
e.g. "sounds.xml.backup"

4. Open sounds.xml with a plain-text editor like Notepad++

5. Search for the line "<SoundDataNode name="FridgeLP">" (is at line 336 in my file)

6. comment out or delete the following lines like so:
<!--
<SoundDataNode name="FridgeLP"> <AudioSource name="Sounds/AudioSource_Amb_XSmall"/>
<AudioClip ClipName="Sounds/Ambient_Loops/a_frig1_lp"/>
<LocalCrouchVolumeScale name="1.0" /> <CrouchNoiseScale name="0.5" /> <NoiseScale name="1" /> <MaxVoices name="18" /> <MaxEntities name="30" /> <MaxRepeatRate name="0.001" /> </SoundDataNode>

<SoundDataNode name="NeonSignLP"> <AudioSource name="Sounds/AudioSource_Amb_XSmall"/>
<AudioClip ClipName="Sounds/Ambient_Loops/a_signbuzz_lp"/>
<LocalCrouchVolumeScale name="1.0" /> <CrouchNoiseScale name="0" /> <NoiseScale name="0" /> <MaxVoices name="18" /> <MaxEntities name="30" /> <MaxRepeatRate name="0.001" /> </SoundDataNode>
-->


if you use Notepad++ you should see these lines in green now.
OR delete only these lines:


<SoundDataNode name="FridgeLP"> <AudioSource name="Sounds/AudioSource_Amb_XSmall"/>
<AudioClip ClipName="Sounds/Ambient_Loops/a_frig1_lp"/>
<LocalCrouchVolumeScale name="1.0" /> <CrouchNoiseScale name="0.5" /> <NoiseScale name="1" /> <MaxVoices name="18" /> <MaxEntities name="30" /> <MaxRepeatRate name="0.001" /> </SoundDataNode>

<SoundDataNode name="NeonSignLP"> <AudioSource name="Sounds/AudioSource_Amb_XSmall"/>
<AudioClip ClipName="Sounds/Ambient_Loops/a_signbuzz_lp"/>
<LocalCrouchVolumeScale name="1.0" /> <CrouchNoiseScale name="0" /> <NoiseScale name="0" /> <MaxVoices name="18" /> <MaxEntities name="30" /> <MaxRepeatRate name="0.001" /> </SoundDataNode>


7. Restart game, enjoy.

LOL I had the same problem when you destory it keeps going so what you need to do is keep playing wich is what I did and after a while it went away it takes some time tho.
