hello out there

I think that I read it in a FFF that the sound of the laser turrets was disabled with intention.
But it doesnt feel right tbh when I play it and there is just a light-beam and the biters bites the dust without any sound-effects.

So I have a question: Is there any mod that adds a sound-effect to the lasers ingame? ( and important: a mod that doesnt overhaul all other things )
Or is there a way I can do this with a little config-script of some lines? As I didnt do any thing in modding Factorio besides install and deinstall mods; I dont really know where to start. Can some1 tell me where I would have to change what, that I can get a laser-sound?

Maybe something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ra2B1AZGbg
or one from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwoBaZXqwaY

There is a sound. It's just incredibly quiet for some reason. You can't hear it unless you have your volume pumped way too high and there is also absolutely nothing else happening nearby that makes a sound, which is never.

From data.raw.beam["laser-beam"]:

Code: Select all

working_sound = {
        {
          filename = "__base__/sound/fight/electric-beam.ogg",
          volume = 0.7
        }
}

In my mod (WIP) I replaced it with a much louder effect borrowed from a popular space adventure TV show, made sure the sound file was normalised, and bumped the volume to 1.0, and it's as audible as you like. You need a properly looped effect because it's a beam of varying length, not a pew-pew.
