Reduce Waterfall sound
In Genesis 2, I've decided to build in between waterfall with a great view but the sound is really loud. I've turned down the sfx volume which works well but that effects other sfx sounds I don't want to lower.

Is there a mod, command or config to edit that will lower the waterfall sound without affecting anything else?

Since no one has really said anything yet I might offer that you could get a nice software driven EQ for audio. Depending on how many channels it has you probably could isolate the sound pretty close and reduce it with that.

Not a perfect fix for waterfalls - but it it drives you crazy. Of course this will affect any sounds within that range. The better the EQ ( more channels ) the less noticeable it will be.

Talked with support. Apparently the "dev kit" does not have the ability to lower the waterfall sound.

Searched for a mod to do something like that, but the only thing Ive found that even comes close is a suggestion to get the Unreal Engine Editor, but not sure how well that will play with the CoC.

CoC only applies on the official network (no mods allowed on official anyways)

If you don't mind modifying your game, simply change the waterfall sound uasset and replace it with some Celine Dion... (and you'll sure revert it back to the original state)

Not the topic. Topic is reducing the sound.

Dont want to change it, we want to lower the sound so it isnt deafening.

repack it then

** EDIT **
A mod is a mod(ification). Regardless how we spin it, once we modify something by either overriding or modifying a core file, make it a sound, will fail any integrity check.

Not a popular take, but its probably the only fix.:komneutral:
