[Q/A] resample wav files

[ichso]

Hi,

it's gotten on my nerves for long enough now. Those wave splash sounds when my boat hits a wave is waaaayyyy too loud. I'm constantly switching my stereo from loud (interior) to not-so-loud (external cameras).
Sometimes I'm even avoiding climbing the bridge when I'm too lazy to turn the loudness down.

I got me a shareware version of a sound file converter which is also able to reduce the amplitude of sound files. It works fine but because it's shareware it would only write 60% of the converted file to disk.

So I've got 2 questions:
1. Is there any useful open source / freeware program to do that ? (Didn't find anything else and I'm not gonna buy something just to convert one file ).

2. The file I need to convert is the wave_bas_weather.wav, right ? I didn't find anything else that might create those wave splash sounds.

Thanks in advance
