View Full Version : Anyone heard what sounds like a bell ringing while leaving port?

Now that I'm running the game on a Windows7 Laptop and I'm using headphones, I find that I'm getting a much more immersive experience than I ever did on my Desktop back in 2005.

So, as I'm leaving my base at Lorient at about 6AM, there's lots of anchored ships, and as I leave I am hearing what sounds like a bell ringing. It sounds like the kind of bell that would have to me manually struck, but the rhythm suggests that maybe either the wind or the movement of a ship is causing the clanging.

At first I thought it might be metal stiking metal somewhere on my sub, but as soon as we had cleared the port, the sound faded away.

I don't know what it was, but it was really cool. :)

Uhere are two bouys where the river turns and at least one more near the lighthouse at the river entrance look for the red and green lights. :DL

An assortment of buoys that broke free during last nights severe storm and came to rest near this ship. 3 of them have bells

Ah hah. I heard them very clearly, and I'm surprised I didn't hit one. Nice touch in the game. :)

"What's brown and sounds like a bell?"

"DUNG!"

Sorry. Couldn't help it.
