📋 About This Mod
Playing as a high-level Conjurer? Abandoned your \"Dead Thrall\" because of the incessant groaning? Well I have two files for you: - Quieter Groans: -25db quieter (still audible for me), main file - Silent Groans, optional file Installation: Just drop it in your Skyrim folder! Thanks to Agnahim for his Voice file extractor found here -- http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=950

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,217 endorsements and over 106k downloads—clearly fills a need
- Perfect for necromancer builds where constant moaning gets old fast
- Lightweight audio tweak that doesn't touch gameplay or visuals
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLCs
- Only affects groans and moans; other zombie sounds remain unchanged
For Skyrim conjurers and necromancers who are tired of hearing their undead minions groan constantly. Also great for players who want a quieter, more immersive experience without removing the undead entirely. Skip if you prefer the original sounds or want a more comprehensive audio overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2011, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—you may need to convert the mod with a tool like Cathedral Assets Optimizer.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Test with a reanimation spell after installing to ensure the sounds are reduced as expected.
