DESCRIPTION
ㅤ
Adds an immersive store entrance doorbell sound effect for Pierre's General Store and Heaps Convenience Store.
Only plays during the hours where the stores are open (around 9AM–5PM), and will not play on closed days.
Includes four unique sounds. Like most sound effects in the game, they will change in pitch as well.
You can control the volume using the "Sounds" slider. Disable pitch variation in Generic Mod Config Menu.
I made the bell sound slightly louder in post so you can hear!
TECHNICAL
ㅤ
If you thought "Won't these sounds get annoying after a while?" So did I...!
Effort was made to ensure these sounds remain unobtrusive and not super irritating.
A slight stereo delay was applied using the Haas effect to create spatial separation and a more natural sense of space.
Sounds were also mixed and processed with a dynamic resonance suppressor to reduce harshness and improve clarity.
If you complete the Community Center, the doorbell will also play on Wednesdays at Pierre's.
The sound won’t play if you enter from Caroline’s Sunroom or Heaps’ Second Floor.
This idea is shamelessly ripped off from one of my favorite Morrowind mods: Store Entrance Chimes.
