@Red Wolf
Cool your jets dude, I wasn't complaining, I was reporting, there is a difference.
@Drive Safely
Yes, I am using that mod, so it's likely that. Thanks.

@Penumbra1979 - The mod itself has no errors in the game log and this file is not currently part of the mod in ATS 1.56.

This suggests your mod load order is likely to not meet the minimum requirements and there is at least one mod you're using not updated for 1.56.

I would guess the Realistic Train Lengths since that is a train related sound reference

if you're that worried about them, figure out how to make a mod yourself

@Drive Safely's
I'm experiencing some red error messages from this mod in the console log.
They are related to the "et44ah.soundref" file. I'm using v1.56 of ATS.
Thanks.

@mk-boss9900: Do you use a Lenovo system?

UDClientService.exe, associated with Lenovo's "UDC Service," is a background process for managing the Unified Device Client (UDC) framework. This service facilitates communication, updates, and control between Lenovo devices and associated software

@Boscorelli - You're welcome! :)

@mk-boss9900 - Your steps are not reproducible since your issue obviously came from somewhere else. Besides, the mod has already been scanned and it does not have any malware or viruses.

The Steam Workshop mod folders only contain the contents of the respective mods. It can't automatically create leftover files or registry entries outside of the folder.

Therefore now you know the mod is safe to use

DANGER: -!!!- DO NOT USE THIS MOD -!!!- (MALWARE/VIRUS.)
It uses: 'UDC-Services' in BACKGROUND. -!!!- WITHOUT: PLAYING -!!!-
'UDC': Controlling MOUSE, KEYBOARD, and INPUT DEVICES.
NO NORMAL MOD; should use this service.
"HOW TO REMOVE:"
OPEN EXPLORER:
GO: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\270880 → '270880'Thats ATS on my Device.
-Try to move all mods to the Desktop.

@Drive Safely Yeap, fixed the cracking. Still not my mood the leaves sounds, but so waaaay better now. Thank you!

@Boscorelli - I think this has been rectified in v25.45 - hopefully you notice a significant improvement. ✅

Thanks for the video as well. Although I was aware of the sound item already from visiting Topeka in the game, it is good to see this effort in reporting issues. :)

@Drive Safely Here's a video of the sound.
https://youtu.be/1-KSTmV7R1o (First without the mod, no sound. Then with the mod)

@Boscorelli - Thanks for checking. No worries, I'll take a look when I have a moment

UPDATE:
Okay, I checked it and it was the trees with the wind. The thing is that the sound has some low "cracking" noises at certain points of the track, and that's why I noticed it.
That is also what I find annoying.

My apologies.

Maybe this was something since day one but I noticed it right after the update...
Did anyone else hear like a soft white noise on 3th person?? Its like the leaves of the trees moving with the air, but for me is really annoying. I dont remember it.

(Im right now at Topeka Junct 70 - 470, right pass the toll booth.)

Its a weird sound bug or just an implemented sound??

@Lord Linda - Indeed the developers would need to make some changes to the game for this feature. I would like it to happen too

dang unfortunately this mod doesnt add the road joint sound to bridges. that might be more of a map issue so those sound cues are triggered at the right point. but this game has always been missing road joint sounds. maybe the devs will fix it some day

@PNGamer - I need some steps to reliably reproduce the noise on my end: which truck, which engine used, etc.

I have the popping noise as well. I just noticed it. I took it out and it is not doing it anymore.

@Spaced Out: I believe the priority of this mod should only be higher than map mods, rain sound mods and AI traffic mods as that's what it says as minimum requirements, any other mods should be above I believe.

@Spaced Out - I'll keep a lookout for anyone else experiencing this issue, but it sounds like your issue is potentially from your truck, maybe the exhaust sound. My mod does not modify the exhaust sounds of the player truck

I forgot you can't edit comments so I'll just add another, please forgive as this isn't really helpful. I'm not sure if its my speakers or how the games sound works or what, but it seems like the popping is related to the loud truck sounds similar to simply playing base outside of the speakers limit. It's odd cause I'm pretty sure my speakers shouldn't be sounding like that, they can handle loud base in other games. Whatever, not the biggest deal and I'm not savy enough to fix it assuming '"it" is a problem to begin with.

I'm getting a crackling sound quite often when i have this mod activated and it's priority the highest. I don't want to blame your mod just yet, it could be some issue on my end but figured I'd mention it just incase someone else is having an issue. If i find out the cause I'll update this comment to let you know whats up.

@DJ_Autonomous - Thanks for trying it out :)

Love this. side note, wish some sounds were a bit more intense, but i guess it's nice to not blow out my ears driving over a rubble strip. everything else is perfect, thank you!

Dang... Oh well, maybe in the future SCS will add something it could be tied to or will add it themselves. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out and discuss this. Until we next meet when I have another idea, lol! Take care!

@Sanguinem Luna - Just wheel wear for the brake squeaking sounds

Thank you, I lurk around and comment rarely. Hope you're doing well! I should've lead with that, lol. And dang, that sucks. Are there any other parts of the truck with sound-related wear or is it just wheels? Chassis was just a suggestion as it would've made some sense since the parts that would cause the problem are usually attached to the chassis.

Maybe body (now that I say it, I don't think body wear has any related sounds) or engine wear would work better? Engine makes way more sense now that I think about it, lol. I know when the engine is damaged it has sounds related to the damage value, but I don't know if any sounds are there for the wear value of the engine.

@Sanguinem Luna - Nice to see you again and thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, there is no chassis wear parameter for sounds that my mod can access

Hey DriveSafely, I just had an idea, not sure if it's possible via this mod. The idea is to increase the frequency of certain sounds based on vehicle wear. I was doom-scrolling YouTube Shorts last night and came across a short of an owner/operator doing work on his truck. His truck was purging air more frequently than it should be (every 2-3 minutes). Investigating the issue, he found he had air leaks on a few air lines and the purge valve on the... compressor/air drier/some part of the air system (I don't know exactly what) was also leaking.

So, the idea is that if your truck (maybe chassis wear specifically) is over say 20% or more wear, you start getting air purging more frequently. Here's the short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KDBroHd8C9s I hope its possible to do, but I understand if not. Either way, keep up the great work!

@capitan Shkwarka - Thank you so much :D

Mr Drive Safely, huge respects for your creation. A completely different level of immersion in the game thanks to your talent! Good luck and inspiration in your endeavors

@country_living - Here is a video with the current rain sound in the mod. Would you care to point out a timestamp when it sounds like fire crackling?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_i2_kCUvck

The rain sounds horrible on the truck. Sounds more like a fire crackling then rain and no its not my speakers they are fine

With v25.38 I've got all the sounds back on track now with the dynamic log loading/unloading for 1.56. It should be working fine now

@likzzzz - No worries :)

I needed to unsubscribe and resubscribe to get it to work. Seems to work on all versions now. Thanks for the quick updates!

@likzzzz - You should see v25.36 in the mod image if you're on the stable release of 1.55.2. The default branch is "None" not the temporary for incompatible mods when selecting the Beta participation

Heads up, this now no longer works on 1.55 for incompatible mods anymore. Need to be on 1.56.

Thank you Drive Safely , I really appreciate your understanding and dedication.

1.56 compatibility has been added! The log loading and unloading sound is missing temporarily, but it will be added back as soon as it's possible.

@Humpfester - It's caused by a standalone air horn accessory being absent on your truck. It can be remedied, but now you don't have to since I've updated the mod only a few hours after your comment :)

Just a heads up, getting this error in the OB 1.56 " <ERROR> Unable to find addon hookup (sound_fixes.train.addon_hookup)" even in Safe Mode.

you are a genius, thank you!

@Lockheed Martin™ - In the settings for Keys and Buttons, there is a separate key/button for the air horn. You might have been using the regular city horn

hi thanks for the response, I have tried both of these things but im still getting the default horn sounds. any other ideas why? I dont believe I have any other horn mods

@Lockheed Martin™ - If you're trying to get the standalone air horn sounds, they're available in the Service Shop as an accessory. Either you can install it through the horn adapter accessory, or under the frame through the steering wheel knob accessory :)

I have no new horn sounds, how do I fix this?

@satan.ipod - I'm glad you like it! :) Plane take off and landing sound is technically not feasible at the moment due to the sound emitter in the game not being attached to the plane. Only for planes not taking off and landing it is feasible

Thanks for your so excellent mod. The first essential for me. May i put your attention to Great Falls airport at montana. Many plane take off with no sound.
Best regards

@arsenio.c70 - I wouldn't describe it as a "squeal" - you should confirm first on whether the wiper sound is coming from a different mod you have enabled.

My mod modifies the fallback/default wiper sound effect, which you can hear in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_i2_kCUvck
