📋 About This Mod
Like alot of sounds in vanilla Starfield, alot of htem has this, CRT like noise that sounds very tinitus like.
While the cutter doesnt have it per say, it still kinda pierces my ears a bit, albet not realy as bad.
Even then, the sound gets old, so i went and fixed it.
What i did was to use the original sound files, pitched then down, and bass boosted the sounds.
As for the cutter energy depleted sound, i used Goldwave to wrangle a reload sound and made it sound stronger.
---Installation---
Simply extract the sound folder into your Starfield Data folder.
Once done, your cutter will now bless you with a much better sound, in my opinion ofcorse.

Cutter Tachyon Sound Mod replaces the Cutter laser's audio with a more industrial and powerful sound, addressing the original's weak 'maracas with asthma' feel. A compact audio mod for players who want a stronger mining experience.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tackles a real annoyance—the stock Cutter sound is weak, and this mod makes it feel beefier.
- Tiny download and simple install, so it's a low-risk addition to your load order.
- Community has grabbed it over 5,000 times, so it's clearly filling a need.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 15 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with a small but dedicated following.
- No version info or compatibility notes, so it might break with future game updates.
- Audio mods can conflict with other sound overhauls, so watch for clashes.
For miners who hate the stock Cutter's wimpy sound and want a more industrial punch. If you're into audio immersion and don't mind a tiny mod, this is a quick win. Skip if you're happy with the default audio or want a full sound overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a sound mod, make sure you don't have other audio mods that might override the same files—check your load order.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the sound in-game after installing to confirm it's the one you want.
- If the mod doesn't seem to work, verify the game's audio settings aren't muting custom sounds.
