DESCRIPTION

Removes high pitched splashes when swimming underwater

Just a small bug fix really, when u swim underwater it still makes splashing noises as if ur out of water, i.e. not muffled and dull. which is really weird.

so i made them quieter and bassier (sounded real in editing) though im not sure you can hear them at all now for whatever reason.

Thanks IDprofile for this video illustrating the effect of this mod
