📋 About This Mod
The original soultrap audio with the loud thunder clash was starting to give me a headache due to always using soultrap on my weapons. I grabbed some blowing wind sounds and faded them together to replace the thunder clash with a calm wind instead. It\'s definitely more eardrum friendly. To install you can use NMM, or just extract the Data folder to your skyrim directory. Uninstalling, NMM or delete the sound file. Check out the video section to see/hear the change. Enjoy =) My other mods: Blacksmith Hammer Sound Edit - Distanced
