Audio Occlusion is an SKSE plugin that adds realistic sound occlusion to Skyrim.
When a wall, floor, or other obstacle blocks the path between the player and a sound source, the sound becomes quieter and more muffled.
No more unbearably loud bards singing through walls!
This mod was created almost entirely through AI-assisted vibe coding.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 388 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance: no more bards blasting through walls.
- Works across SE, AE, and VR, so it's got broad coverage.
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other SKSE plugins that directly modify sound volume while playing.
- Development focus is on AE 1.6.1170 and VR 1.4.15, so other versions might have issues.
- Requires SKSE and Address Library, which adds setup overhead.
For Skyrim players who want more immersive audio and are tired of sounds bleeding through walls. If you're on SE, AE, or VR and already use SKSE, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about audio realism or prefer minimal mod setups.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to launch the game via SKSE or SKSEVR, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- Edit AudioOcclusion.ini in the mod's SKSE/Plugins folder to tweak occlusion strength and distance to your liking.
- If you use other sound mods, test for conflicts; if sounds behave oddly, check for other SKSE plugins that alter volume.
