Replace it with a trumpet sound if you want. Sounds are located in [Factorio install folder]\data\base\sound. the one you're looking for is electric-mining-drill.ogg.

Here is an example of how I lowered the volume of the radar. You can use it as an example of how to change the volume or sound file to what you want.

Code: Select all

-- radar too loud
local entity = data.raw["radar"]["radar"]
entity.working_sound.sound.filename = "__base__/sound/radar.ogg"
entity.working_sound.sound.volume = 0.7
I have been placing this in the data-final-fixes.lua of one of my mods.

I just wanted to second this. There's a high pitched whine in the sound effect for the electric mining drill that is extremely annoying and unpleasant for me (to the extent that it turns me off from playing this game).

Quick, sloppy EQ job I did in Audacity to make the high pitched whine quieter: https://vocaroo.com/2x7HAPAv8k7
