Background on the name

What originally started as just a simple fix for what I considered a minor annoyance, that being the squeak that the doors make; ballooned into a collection of over 60 sound related changes and fixes across the entire game. And so the name stayed.

If you have any reccomandations or feedback feel free to put it in the comments or reach out to me on discord Rythillian#0001, twitter or in the VS discord.

Overview of STS

The pack includes simple changes, such as fixing audio popping, microphone rumbles/bumps, removing background noise, incorrect mono/stereo mixing, attempted exorcisms, hums, echos and more! A full list of all changes can be found within the zip (more indepth than the one below).

The pack stays 100% completely true to vanilla by not replacing any audio files, only modifiying and touching up the existing files. Some sounds have been modified in ways that are different from standard vanilla (though they remain the original audio file, just adjusted). For example the bow release sfx has been modified in a way that is different from vanilla, and the strike sfx have been swapped due to the change in seraph voices.  (At the moment the replacement uses a modified sound from the game, if you wish to revert this change, just simply remove the file from the pack under assets\game\sounds\player\strike1.ogg). Future modications like this may be made, a full list and details can be found below; and I hope to eventually attach a video that goes over all the changes with comparisons as well!

Feel free to suggest any changes/additions as I do plan to keep updating it as I use the pack myself.

Psst.. you are also free to do whatever you want with the themepack (within reason lmao); modify it, reupload it, I don't care!

IMPORTANT:

It should be noted however that the pack is still limited by being a themepack and not a full on mod. So fixes that require any changes outside of swapping audio files are not possible with this pack. Due to issues with file size, it is not possible to include the volume fixes for the tuning cylinders. In the meantime I highly suggest checking out accessibilitytweaks. It allows you to adjust the volume of the tuning cylinders seperately from the ambience slider.

Environment

Player & Held

• stab.ogg - Hiss reduced.
• strike1.ogg - Replaced due to old seraph noises going the way of the dodo.
• strike2.ogg - Replaced like strike1, but with a slight variation to spice things up.
• throw.ogg - Converted to mono.
  
• torch-idle.ogg - Was requested to add this and was hell to fix up. The torch loop is too short, and it has so many odd pops, clicks and humming, that extending it and trying to make the loop less noticable hurt my very soul. Should loop better now and as a bonus it's a bit cozier sounding with proper mixing.
• wetclothsqueeze.ogg - Ton of background noise removed but I geniuenly don't know where this sound plays ingame. (Apprently it plays when making cheese, thanks Lithos!)

• Chain [1 & 2] - lowered by -3db.
• Scale [1 & 2] - Lowered by -5db.
• Plate [1-4] - Lowered by -5db.

Weather

• hail.ogg - Bunch of cleanup to the audio, removed random clicking noises that would play throughout. This one is kinda hard to describe due to just how.. much.. there is going on in the audio.
• lightning-distant.ogg - Removal of background hiss and some cleanup to the mix.
• lightning-near.ogg - Slight cleanup, this one was minor.
• lightning-verynear.ogg - Removed the sounds of dog barking and people shouting. Yes really.
• wind-leafy.ogg - Removed a few loud leaf rustles that would always play on the mid of the loop. Basically made it super obvious when the audio looped. Now it’s not!
