📋 About This Mod
I thought the sounds of my Automatrons were a bit loud, some reeeally loud (the Sentry legs and engine noise) so I lowered them. Most of the sounds were lowered about 5 decibels, some 6. These files cover the footsteps and locomotion sounds of the Assaultrons, Protectrons, Sentry bots, and Robobrains. I didn't touch the Mr. Handys because I use Reduce Codsworth and Curie Idle Noise and it works perfectly.
To install, simply drag the sound folder into your data folder. I recommend using NMM since there are quite a few loose files.
I made this for myself, but if anyone else would like to use this, go ahead. This file is provided without much in the way of support, I do not take request, I most likely will not make any more versions unless I broke something.

Quiet Automatron Footsteps and Locomotion Sounds reduces the volume of footsteps and locomotion sounds for Assaultrons, Protectrons, Sentrybots, and Robobrains by about 5 decibels. A simple audio tweak for Fallout 4 players who find Automatron robot noises too loud.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: quiets those clunky robot footsteps without touching other audio.
- Small, focused change that's easy to install and won't mess with your other sound mods.
- Decent community trust with 367 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects four robot types—if you wanted quieter sounds for other robots or DLC creatures, this won't help.
- The 5 dB reduction might not be enough if you're really sensitive to those sounds.
- Last updated in 2016, so it's likely not tested with newer Fallout 4 updates or DLC.
For Fallout 4 players who love Automatron but can't stand the loud clanking of robot footsteps. If you're looking for a broader audio overhaul or want to tweak other robot sounds, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (like NMM or Vortex) to keep your load order clean.
- If you use other sound mods, place this one after them in the load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Test in-game near a Sentrybot to hear the difference—if it's still too loud, you might need a more comprehensive sound mod.
