Zar's Sound Muffler
This mod is useful for getting rid of just those few, annoying or tinnitus-inducing sounds (like that humming sound of the substation!), without having to silence an entire category of sounds. It draws inspiration from Eradicator's Safety Ear Muffs and Volume Control, but works in its own way.
Features: Reduce the volume of working sounds for most entities by adding their type or name ID to comma-separated lists in Startup Settings. Prefixes can be used to modify just the "active" or "idle" sounds as well as override the default volume factor (e.g. radar,i50:accumulator,a75:k2-greenhouse). As of v1.2.0 (Factorio 2.0) and v.2.1.0 (Factorio 2.1), another prefix can be used to collectively modify special sound categories (e.g. ao:roboport).
The mod was made to work for static entities, but it may also work for some moving ones (it will for example get rid of the bleep-bloop sounds of the Spidertron, without affecting the sound of the legs moving). There may still be some special sound categories that are not affected by this mod.
