Annoying sound loops

[simster007 369]

I got very often annoying sound loops when playing different city tiles. This issue seems to get worse related to the growth of the city. This could be something like traffic or machinery noise, an extremely annoying snoring sound etc..

One solution ist to save, leave and restart the tile, sometimes even that doesn´t work. I know that I could I can switch off or reduce the sound in the settings but I don´t like that.

Is that a game´s bug? Is my computer in overload? Is there something around like the "helicopter silencer mod"?

Just in case: I`m on the the mac version of the game.

How about this? Will at least get rid of one item.

that one is solved long time ago....the helicopter silencer is already part of my plugins, I´m wondering if it´s possible to transfrom that to the other sounds?

the easy solution is just to deactivate the game sounds.

the hard solution is to find exactly which lot is producing those sounds, and modifying it with the Reader to remove the sound. Or just to bulldoze it.

Since you're still active on the site, I'm bumping this to ask if you ever got the sound trouble solved. I seem to recall writing a mod that fixed the bugged road construction loop and if so, we could prolly find it attached to some random post.

Did you? I'd be interested to grab it as well, do leave a mention if you find it Rina!

Yep! I found it here. (And the post below has one to silence Doorbells and Knocks.)

Wow, you're fast! Thank you!

Other sounds are fine. I actually like these slumsy buzzes and knocks.

Scrolling back thru that thread and I see it wasn't my creation alone.

CB created the silent .wav file and then I combined both methods in the version I linked to.
