Unusual steam sounds

Same here. It used to freak me out as I would think the save had loaded and all of a sudden I was under attack.

My last patrol, every mid-patrol save would load up and I'd get the sound fx and then a report that our decoys or whatever had been destroyed. Which was kinda interesting cuz I didn't know we had any on board yet.

You know something...I'd never noticed that until I read this post

As for the glass shattering in the guages...that is the games way of accepting and adjusting any damage you may have incurred prior to saving.

If it sounds like every toilet in the world flushing at once, it's and old bug from what I recall. Has something to do with your soundcard setup.
Been so long since I heard a comment on it, and I just ignore it when it happens.

So it's a known bug of sorts? Seems like I won't be able to fix this one then.

Well, no matter. I can just mute it for a few seconds when I start up a new mission.

If I recall correctly it's actually the sound you hear when the boat scrapes a sub net, or at least that's the explanation given years ago. Go to the Data/Sound and listen to Collision_AntiSubmarineNet_int and see if that's the sound you hear. I hear nothing when I play that one because I used Sound Recorder to mute it years ago, for that very reason.

Well, it's not permanent.
This patrol is fine.
Nice and quiet again.
