Is it possible add aa option in the audio settings menu to disable Auger and Chainsaw sounds, but not its mechanics and just for self? With this option enabled, auger and chainsaw will still me audible by other players and entities (unless these players have enabled this option too) and these tools will still attract zombies and screamers. This option just will disable the sound to its user.
I have various reasons to request this modification:
1: Repetitive sounds and louder sounds like auger and chainsaw can be harmfull to real heath and can even cause auditive lesions. Of course it can take years to something like that occur just because this game, but imagine a player who already work in a noise ambiente sound and when come to play have to deal with more noise? Games should be fun and relaxing, or I am wrong?
2: Remember, real people when using these tolls aways use protective auditive gear: IPE (Industrial Protective Equipment), more especific: hearing protection device.
3: The auger and chainsaw sounds are very loud and irritating, sometimes I have headache when play this game too much using these tools.
4: I cant use my auger and chainsaw and talk to my friends in Discord at same time cause the sound are very loud, because that, I need turn all game sounds off, what render me vulnerable to zombies attacks or I need lower the game sounds and increase my friends voices what is very irritating.
5: Mostly ppl I encountered in this forum and in the game agree with me these tools have very irritating sounds.
6: I cant listen music or study at same time I am using auger/chainsaw (sometimes I listen some vídeos and study at same time I play).
Someone told me TFP turned auger and chainsaw sounds louder to trouble us allowing zombies approach silently. If it is true, then put this option in the game and when auger and chainsaw are in use, the zombies sounds will be off to the player too (it is very fair to me if a man using gearing protection device cant hear his tool and the zombies.).
I believe my suggestion is very fair, it not will change any game mechanics and will turn the game more enjoyable to all.
