📋 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.

Thanks to...

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

Lowers footsteps and locomotion sounds for Assaultrons, Protectrons, Sentrybots, and Robobrains by about 5 decibels.
Targets only robot locomotion audio, leaving other sounds untouched.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 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.
