Vocalization on new energized dance/motion is loud

This also applies to NPC’s. There was a child NPC across the street from my Sim’s house and their energetic vocalization was so loud I thought I had an intruder. 

I am also experiencing this. I play a vanilla game no mods. The voice is so much louder (jump scare!!) than anything else. A sim could be on a completely different floor and there's suddenly a very loud voice because a sim was doing that new animation when energized.

I’m having this too, and even if I pause just as it’s happening the vocalisation still happens, including the sim’s mouth moving 

Same thing happens for me as well.

This is a proximity audio bug with the "new" emote that Active Sims do that was added into the live mode gameplay. When they are about to get energized (and sometimes just randomly), they perform the emote.

The problem is that the audio is completely bugged. Not only does the volume of it increase dramatically, the proximity check does not kick in. So whether you have the focus on the next room, outside the the lot, or even clear across the neighborhood zone, you will hear the sim, very loudly, perform the emote.

You said it a lot better than I originally did 😀

they added a new idle animation for active sims, the same idle they do in cas. the animations is bugged since the audio and animation will play even when the game is paused.

I can confirm this. I gave the Active trait to one of my Sims and when she did the energized animation the voice was super loud even when I had the camera away and far from the place she was in.
