Is there simply a default engine sound replacement mod?

[★BigShot★]

When I look on the mod sites at sounds all I find are a bunch of very specific engine sounds...bu I have no idea what engine my truck has and which sound will work with which truck, nor do I wish to learn any of that stuff.

Is there just a sound pack for ATS I can get that will replace all the default engine sounds with improved ones so I know it'll work with all stock trucks in the game?

where do i find the mod site

I am not aware of a mod that replaces all engine sounds.

Visit a workshop (in game) and check what engine you use.
There are Cummins, CAT and Detroit Diesel engines. (did I miss one?)

You will find sound mods in the Forum here:
https://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=212

... or in the Steam-Workshop.

There are mods that replace the sound. Some might also add new engines with the modded sound. You can use the filter symbol in the Workshop to find out which is which.
Read the mod description.


If you don't like the vanilla sound, you can also play around with the different volume sliders for the truck. It can make a huge difference.
Set them all to 0, and slide them in one by one until it sounds good for you.

The sound pack 4.2 from Kriechbaum might replace a majority of the sounds. But it didn't get updates since 2023.

Thanks yea but I was using this before updating the game and now I do not believe it is compatible so I had to remove it.

I recently started using this engine sound mod, which was recommended by the author of a truck I have. It uses Kriechbaum's files and is intended to be a substitute for his mod until that is updated. A variety of engines are supported. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2534995736

Kriechbaum's engine Mega sound pack 4.2 works fine in 1.53, it doesn't need to be updated seeing there is no version line in the manifest and you can easily add any truck to it if you know the internal .def name of the truck. The mod is still available on the SCS forums, but has been "Locked" by the moderators for some reason, but it still work fine.

Yes, you have to update it yourself by adding trucks but works fine

For what its worth - the volume sliders:
Engine volume is the truck default sound, but that roaring noise you get is "exhaust volume" - on trucks like the w900 its REALLY loud, so turning that down to 50% but leaving engine and turbo up makes alot of difference. Turbo volume on some trucks makes a really awful high pitched whistling noise however.

Here is the link to Kreichbaum's Mega pack - https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=201930. The Kapitan is the one who requested the lock on the thread, I know he had mentioned in other forums that he was going to concentrate on ETS2 for the foreseeable future.

This is what I currently use as well. It works for most of the SCS trucks and SCS engines. Doesn't work with the new Kenworth T680 or FL Cascadia, but I know at least in T680 case there's a decent engine mod I think in the Workshop.
