✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 323 endorsements and 277k downloads—clearly a lot of players wanted this.
- Three volume levels (25/50/75%) let you dial in exactly how much you want to mute the idle noise.
- Targets only the annoying idle sounds, so you still get the audio cues when enemies are active.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects four enemy types—if you're bothered by other idle sounds, this won't help.
- No uninstall instructions provided, so you'll need to manually remove the edited wav files if you want to revert.
- Last updated in March 2024—might not be compatible with future FGEP updates, so check before installing.
For FGEP players who are tired of hearing Shamblers snoring from across the map or Exploders lurking too loudly. If you want a quieter, more tense atmosphere without losing audio cues, this is for you. Skip if you don't use FGEP or if you prefer the original sound levels.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure FGEP is installed first, then just pick the volume reduction you want and overwrite the wav files in the FGEP folder.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can still install manually—just drop the files into the correct directory.
- Test in-game by standing near a Shambler or Exploder to hear the difference; if it's too quiet, switch to a lower reduction.
