unpleasant sound in game
Why is there an unpleasant sound in the game (at any volume), which resembles the operation of a welding machine (high-frequency). In other games, when listening to music - there is no such sound. This sound disappears on save (when the game freezes) and resumes .

I changed the output device in the sound devices panel. There were headphones (from the front of the computer), and now speakers (the back connector of the motherboard). So far, the unpleasand sound has disappeared, but, as I said, it was periodic from session to session ... while I'm watching

I have a loud thruster noise at some locations (in POI's) , with no thrusters anywhere. It can stop for a second and come back and so on. Cannot be solved by leaving / reloading the game. Check files etc. does not help either. Only "solution" is to cut down overall sound - which is bad because then I cannot hear approaching baddies...

There are a couple of POI's that I can think of that do have thrusters in them. They are traps rooms/hallways. Thruster kicks on when you walk in and your are trapped. Once trapped the area get over 400 degrees. I have been trapped once and it was not pleasant.
So yes POI's can and do have thrusters.

There are several unpleasant issues with this game, but the sound is none of them as far as i can evaluate this.

"Welding machine" sound, sounds a lot like the radiation(Geiger Counter) sound. Cuz, ya know, that was really needed. Who needs peace and quiet, when you can hear that soothing sound every time you walk past the fridge, furnace, or FRUIT TREE!

You are right! WiMuDi Are in some radiation zone or a radiation storm? In the upper right , under the mini map is the temp both your suit temp and outside temp, under that is radiation. Is there a red radiation symbol beside it when you hear the noise?

It wasn't the same issue, then. You're just confusing things for others who arrive later.

right click ur volume on desktop open volume mixer and empyrion usually is listed multiple times for some reason and usually the only sound coming from one of them is the bad sound while everything else is on a different one

Are you running a local server instance of the game?

I've never done that, but only one of those two instances will be providing the actual audio in the game. The other one you could probably mute to one or more audio devices, UNLESS there's in-game voice chat being provided by the other. That would be awkward.

we use discord
the ambient noise, like space static or engine hum that gets stuck is always by itself on one of em ill mute it and no more problems, until next time it launches itl be the main audio thatl be muted
but it changes too sometimes it will say i have 2 instances other times i have like 6
