Can we do something about the windy cockpit noise in the 737NGX?????Thanks on advanceGeert

Close the windows? Seriously, though..If you look at the FSX sound settings, you will have one for environment and one for cockpit..Play with those, and also go into the PMDG settings in the FMC, look at options then sound (I think; I'm at work - somebody else wqill have the QRH to hand, no doubt)bestjake

I disabled some of the souind files to lower the noise, works great

I have yet to get this sorted out totally. My issue is not being to hear the ATIS over the noise, trying to set the arrival pressure is tricky I sometimes have to let it play three or four times before I can pick it out.

You could try using a headset! It works in real life too!vololiberista

You can send the voice to your analogue output and use headphones (as vololiberista suggests above), and if you have optical/SPDIF input on whatever your PC is plugged into you can have the rest on optical. I run this waybestjakeTo clarify: you have seperate outputs for voice and sounds in the FSX sounds dialog

_{How do you disable sounds like the battery & air conditioniong in the NGX?}

Why on Earth would you do that?Sign your post.

Well like they said above its extremely loud and hard to hear voice over them. I dont want to get rid of them but just lower them a bit.

As said before, play with your sounds. You will find the correct settings for you sometimes for sure. But it would be best to set everything to 50%, then it's as realistic as possible.Oh and before I forget it: You HAVE TO sign your posts with your FULL REAL NAME, according to the PMDG FORUM RULES

Ill mess around with them, or throw the voice to my headset as stated above. thanks~!

There is free software out there to edit sound files and reduce volume, but not required in the NGX as sound volumes can be set in the FMC.Unfortunately we don't have the FMC sound volume option in the JS4100, would be helpful for the horrendous row...

The issue isn't with the sounds, it's that you're trying to force all of the sounds through one device. If you tried to do that in the real world, it wouldn't work so well either: flip the output to the aircraft's flight deck speaker and try it sometime with the engines on at cruise - good luck! I can post a video of what that would sound like, if you want me to.This is why flight crews wear headsets.As mentioned several times before, use different devices for the ambients versus the ATC. Better yet, don't use FSX's ATC and use a headset with VATSIM/IVAO. With that you're nearly forced to set it up on multiple devices anyway. Problem solved.

I just slid the Environment Sounds slider back to 40% in FSX.Worked a treat.Martin.

Yes, the default cabin sound (aircon?) is too loud compared to

I see someone commented on this in 2004 http://forum.avsim.net/topic/41599-just-got-pmdg-737-but-major-cockpit-noise/.

 

I'm going to study the suggestions made here.
