What I mean is that we should have sliders to adjust the volume of different sound effects. There are times I want to hear my car's engine and don't want to hear that loud and bassy thud from the kickoff countdown. Or that high pitched noise every time I move the cursor around, followed by the bassy thud from clicking something. I don't mind the sound, just want the ability to adjust the volume on some of those sounds - I'm sure I'm not the only one. Please and thank you, Psyonix.

Hello! Your friendly sound guy here... one of a few at Psyonix now actually! ☺ I assure you that this has not fallen on deaf ears! In the audio department we do listen and take into account any feedback you guys send out for the sound.

I know it seems like giving a lot of granular control over for the sound in the game is easy, but unfortunately that is not really the case. This is why you don't see games do this very often. When it is done, it is frequently limited to one area of sound or simply giving toggle on/off of certain aspects of the sound. (I would be curious if you have examples of games that have given more extensive control well? We would definitely look deeper into them.)

That being said, we are always working to better the sound in the game and I promise you we will take all of the thoughts on this thread into account. You should A/B from the original ship! It's quite a difference and a good chunk of that is from thoughts you guys had!
