Hydrophone ambient sounds question

[HEMISENT]

Is there any way at all to tone down or delete the ambient sounds when at the hydrophone station. I'd like to make it as quiet as possible simulating a funker wearing headphones, too many coughs, bubbles, scrapes etc in the background.

This is better in GWX vs NYGM but still annoying as hell.

At one point, back using heavily-modded vanilla, I'd installed a hydrophone mod that cut out all background noise when you were manning the hydrophones. The only thing you heard was from outside the boat. Unfortunately I've no idea what that mod was called now.

Now that you mention it I think I recall that same mod-I need to look thru my old stuff.
If someone could do it back then, then there has to be a way.

Iam not sure if this is the file you can change but i guess it is the amb_hydrophone.wav

You can tune down the volume in the file so it doesnt sounds so loud.

Just use windows own soundrecorder.
open the file, then on the the tab, effects, you can tune down the volume.
Do this as many times you like untill you get the volume you prefer and then save the file.

If your not sure and you need someone to do it; just PM and I'll do one up for you.

Thanks Vikinger, I found this last night and renamed it for a test-"ALL" ambient sounds were gone, the hydrophones were blissfully silent. Now that I know that's the one I'll fiddle with it a bit.

Before the days of noise canceling and acoustic isolation headphones, I suspect the hydrophone station had a lot of ambient noise to deal with.

There isnt much of ambient noise in the water.
As a scuba diver i only hear the sound of waves when they break the shore if iam close to the shore.

But then at the deep and further out in the sea you dont hear anything more than your own breathing.
All noise/sound you hear is created by humans. Like ships.

its quite amazing that you can hear a ship from real far away and you get the illusion of that you are real close to it but then when you surface and se the ship 1-3 km away.

But i dunno how it would sound thru a hydrophone that magnifie the sound. if you hear background noise. I guess its dependant how close to surface you are and what weather conditions there is. Stormy weather i think could produce some background noise.

Well guys, for me it's simply that since installing GWX ALL the ship sounds appear to be greatly reduced(volume) to a point where I now have to crank my speakers to the moon just to hear beyond 8km. Losing the ambient sounds simply helps. Either that or raise the volume of each individual ship sound.
