DESCRIPTION
===========
- This mod brings more immersion to common sounds in the game.
- For over 7 years, this mod has proven to be an essential addition for anyone wanting an immersive experience.
- The Steam Workshop version is highly recommended for quick and easy updates, maintained for the current game version.
- The mod is the most safe on the Steam Workshop, having procedures in place for adapting to major game updates.
COMPATIBILITY
=============
* ETS2 1.46.2 + ATS 1.46.4. No errors in game log. Must have high priority in Mod Manager.
* Does not replace individual player truck sounds, so this mod can be used with an unlimited amount of truck sound mods of your choice.
* Compatible with all maps and all trucks, including truck mods.
* Supported in single-player and multiplayer Convoy mode, and is marked as an optional mod in Convoy.
* If hosting a Convoy dedicated server with this mod, it is recommended to turn on "mods_optioning" to prevent mod version restrictions.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
====================
Requires higher priority in Mod Manager than:
- any map mods (e.g. ProMods)
- any AI traffic mods (e.g. Jazzycat's traffic packs)

FEATURE LIST
============
The mod features dynamic and realistic sounds, covering the following:
- Extensive variety of suspension and tire bump sounds.
- Fuel / filling station sounds.
- Door close and seatbelt sounds after refueling.
- Train sound enhancements, including comprehensive sounds for some individual trains.
- Unique railroad crossing bell sounds for different locations.

- Default common sound reworks, such as improved default air brake sounds and a softer default reverse beep.
- AI traffic vehicle sound improvements, including sounds for Jazzycat's Motorcycle Traffic Pack.
- English UK/US voice navigation variants with speaker effect added and no unrealistic phrases.
- Wind buffeting and rush of air sounds at high speeds only when the window is open.
- Improvements to sounds of the surrounding environment and animated objects.

- Default gear grinding sound effect additions and improvements.
- (Optional) Reefer / refrigerated trailer sound functionality that can be activated by trailer mods.
- (ATS Special Transport DLC) Chance of hearing a CB radio sound effect as an indication for when the front pilot vehicle reduces speed ahead.
For further realism, the mod may also add official colors to each AI traffic vehicle it modifies for sound, with rarer colors less likely to be seen.
