Is there a way to do this with sounds without using code?

[C_Sharper (Sharpie)]

Basically, if you’re positioned on the first level of a building, but directly above you on the second level, there’s a pipe bursting sound playing. The volume is just as loud as if you were actually on the same level. I’d desire for it to be much quieter if you were not on the same level as the sound. (basically a ceiling is blocking the player from the sound)

You’d think there’d be a natural way to achieve this effect without using code. I wasn’t sure if there were sound properties or objects that could create this behavior.

Thanks.

The Volumetric Sounds Beta is Here

Hey there Roblox Developers! Have you ever wanted to add sound design to a large object like a waterfall, or ambient sounds to a big environment like a city? Today we are happy to introduce a brand new beta feature called Volumetric Sounds! This feature is a change in the way sounds behave when childed to Block, Ball, and Cylinder Parts. Previously, childing a sound to a part made it emit from a single point at the center of the part. This is no longer the case. Childing a sound to a Block, B…

This doesn’t seem to be the functionality I’m looking for. Thanks though.

Well if you want functionaility your going to have to code it theres no way of getting around that

The volume is just as loud as if you were actually on the same level. I’d desire for it to be much quieter if you were not on the same level as the sound. (basically a ceiling is blocking the player from the sound)

You can set the RollOffMinDistance and RollOffMaxDistance for the sound (in the sound properties)… so that at a minimum of 5 studs it will play and it will get quieter the closer you get to lets say 200 studs away from it at a max. After that max distance it won’t be heard anymore.

Also be sure to set the RollOff Mode to Inverse Tapered.

PS: the 5 and 200 are examples… you should set it to 5 min and then figure out how far the next level is up and use that for the max. There is a cool plugin that shows you visually the min and max, using colors, let me link you:

Sound Rolloff Visualiser

Currently working on a plugin which shows the min/max rolloff of a sound. You can view both at the same time: Or you can view them separately. PLUGIN DOWNLOAD: Please feel free to reply with your opinions!

I really like the plugin by the way, the visualization saves a lot of time.

It works just as it stated … I used: InverseTapred
RollOffMaxDistance = The max distance you will hear it
RollOffMinDistance = Distance you have to be to it, to hear it
You may also need to lower the sound volume pretty low for this.
I use this with a automatic sliding door and had to go very low for this to work out.
The actual volume of the sound seems to play into it.

@RMofSBI I appreciate your interest in my plugin. To answer @C_Sharper’s questions related to sound rolloff, I’ve made a little (hopefully) helpful graph.

(it’s a bit wonky, don’t mind it)

As I also see there is still (somehow) some interest in my plugin, I’ll work to increase the efficiency of it to allow brilliant developers such as yourselves to work with sound more easily.
