Welcome to the wonderfull world of SH4 Sounds and there controls, or should i say lack their of controls. I have been toying with sounds as well with little of no possitive results.

Depending on what sound your looking for the sound file may be one that has to be removed for all ships.

Many ships use the same sounds and there is no way to break them up so far.

The sound you may be looking for is
Ship_collision_alarm_ext

This is the sound that sounds like a blaring siren or whooping noise. It is hard coded as far as i have seen. If you want to get rid of it you need to create a BLANK sound and replace the original with the blank "SAVE the old one first".

It seems this sound plays whenever a ship is close to another. Any object so far that has collision nodes seems to cause this sound to play.

There are several other alarm sequences that may play.

To find out what one it is, make a single mission with just your ship that your questioning, preview it. The alarm for collision should NOT sound.
Go back and place your player submarine very close to is and you probably will hear that sound play.

I will look for more sounds for you as i continue.

Also how did you find out exactly what sounds were played for the ship?
I would be very interested in knowing this.

Bill

Good luck
