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

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,281 endorsements—clearly hits the spot for many players
- Does exactly what it says: kills those annoying high-pitched splashes underwater
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just a simple audio fix that's easy to install
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or Special Edition without tweaks
- Only addresses one specific sound effect, so if you're hoping for broader underwater audio improvements, this isn't it
For Skyrim players who find the default underwater splash sounds grating and want a quick, no-fuss fix. Perfect for immersion-focused gamers who notice audio details. Skip if you're on Skyrim Special Edition or want a more comprehensive audio overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Just drop the file into your Data folder and activate it in your mod manager—no extra steps needed.
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, this mod may not work out of the box; check for a port or use a similar fix.
- Since it's a sound replacement, load order rarely matters, but keep it active to ensure the splash sound is removed.
