    Question How do I make outdoor wind sound quiet indoors?

    I have a loud wind sound in my level that plays in buildings unrealistically - at the same volume inside as it does outside. I have tried to use multiple sound wave things but it does not work properly and is not a good solution. SO, is there a volume or something I could use?

    Thank you. : )

    there's probably not a volume that fits your needs, but adding a new custom volume in UnrealScript should be easy.
    programming the sound to be quiet when you're in the volume should be easy too. possible even through Kismet, though that'd require the Kismet nodes for every volume you have in the level. if you have a few then I'd say it's the way to go. if you're planning on a whole lot of buildings you could handle it all in the volume's programming, have a custom editor property that points to a sound in the level, and make the programming act accordingly.

    then again if you just want a quick hacky job for a few buildings you can add a regular collision volume, make it not block actors, then do it all in Kismet. actually that doesn't sound hacky at all, it'd just end up as a very messy Kismet if you have a big number of volumes

    How would I do that exactly?

    I have tried via Kismet, but it just doesn't work.

    HELP PLEASE

    I guess it depends on how well you know Kismet.

    a quick google search found me [this guide] which shows how to use a trigger volume. then you'd need to add your sound as an object, use a modify property event and change its volume property to a low value when the trigger is touched, and again to the regular value when it's untouched

    Reverb Volumes should achieve what you want. Tinker with the 'Outside Volume' and 'Interior Volume' settings.
