@EA_Barry Any chance you guys could add a “Reduce Loud Sounds” option for the audio?
Explosions, especially if nearby, sound way louder than the average audio does, i.e. enemy footsteps and so on.

Reduce Loud Sounds should only reduce audio above a certain threshold settable by the user, for example an integer value of 0-10.
This means the sound of footsteps etc. is unaffected. So the option cannot be used to “cheat”, i.e. to hear footsteps better.
It simply presses down the audio level of very high sounds towards the average sound level chosen by the user.
Hope you know what I mean here.
