custom horns are very quiet

for the longest time I thought they weren't working, even with the engine turned off, I couldn't hear them. Now I've gone and made my own custom horn clipping through the roof in audacity, I can just hear it over the engine if I listen carefully.

Is there a way to have beamng just play it louder? (keep in mind I'm okay with jbeam files, but don't understand LUA at all)

 

have you checked your ingame audio settings?

 

default horns are fine, just any custom horns

 

So those audio files are very quite. You should find better audio files because there's no way to increase the volume of horn

 

I've tested 2 mods, and made my own where I have it so loud and clipping that it's hard to tell what it is in beamng (and still quiet)

 

Wierd. Post here the audio file and the .jbeam file

 

it's with all horn mods I've tried, here's one that has the same issue for me - https://www.beamng.com/resources/requested-horn-pack-no-more-requests-taken.12731/

it's about 1/8th to 1/4 of a normal horn's volume

 

is this just a "my pc" thing, or is it for everyone?

 

I haven't checked your horn specifically, but from what I've seen, custom sounds in general have a different volume curve.


This is what it feels like in my experience. This happens on my custom sounds for the FS-65/CB40 as well

 

(that wasn't my horn, it was just one of the mods that have the same effect)
I set my own horn to clip because it was so loud, and it still wasn't as loud as the stock horn, so the custom horn volume shouldn't be as loud as stock. Is there some kind of code line I can write?
