Rocket launches are extremely loud and make me feel uncomfortable at times or make it hard to understand team mates. Please add a volume textfield or such for teh rocket volume in "the rest" settings

It being loud is the point (it's a big rocket).
I consider changing volume of individual entities to be a mod territory however I can see myself making an exception for this one if you promise me I won't get requests for adding 17 more hidden settings.

I kinda agree this is mod area, tbh. For me personally, it would not be a solution, because mods are not allowed in speedruns. This has kind of been bothering me, since space age launches so, so many rockets. So I would really appreciate the possibility to make them a bit more quiet, without making the whole group less loud in the sound settings .This is the first time I request any the rest setting in 11 years and I don't plan to do any further similar requests.

I didn't mean you specifically making more request, but the community in general.

Oh I see, well I can't speak for other. However if, after this has been added, people reference this thread to request their own stuff for the rest settings, you have my support to remove this feature again instead.
