📋 About This Mod

Removes the annoying \"Thud\" sound when you perform sneak attacks. Sneak attacks should be silent and shouldn\'t scare the S#~T out of you. If you agree, download this mod and enjoy silent kills. I tested it with marksman and one-handed blade attacks. Worked so far! Installation: Extract the ESP file to Skyrim/Data folder Disclaimer: Use it wherever you like, but mention my name.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 6,027 endorsements and 95,000 downloads — clearly a lot of players wanted this
  • Does exactly what it says: kills that annoying thud, no more jarring sound when you backstab
  • Lightweight and simple — no scripts, no meshes, just a sound file swap

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2012 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or Special Edition without tweaks
  • Only removes the sneak attack sound — if you wanted other sound tweaks, this mod won't help
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who are tired of the loud 'thud' on every sneak attack and want a cleaner stealth experience. If you're a stealth archer or assassin, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on Special Edition and want guaranteed compatibility — you might need to test it.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install — it should automatically place the sound file in the right folder.
  • For manual install, drop the 'sound' folder into your Skyrim Data directory and overwrite when prompted.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this old mod might not work — check the comments for user reports before installing.
