Summary0003544: Hum from electric lights is very annoying
DescriptionI'd like to see the hum that accompanies certain electric lights reduced in volume. With normal, comfortable sound settings for gameplay, the hum that comes off these things is very annoying. Especially when there are several in close proximity. It's a constant high frequency sound that lays over the top of any other sounds of the game.

atdm:lamp_electric_outdoor_up_lit is an example. And any lights using the same hum as this one.

If the volume of the sound determines the brightness of the light, then the math calculating brightness from sound needs to change so that brightness doesn't suffer.

I actually made the base sound quieter than it was in 1.08, which is why the math had to be changed for all the lights. But changing the volume spawnarg doesn't affect the light, I don't think. How much quieter do you want it?

The change (13658) is perfect. I now pick up a light hum as I get near the lamp, and it's no longer overpowering. I can stand near one or two of these lamps w/o wanting to flee the area.

I have tinnitus, and normally play music to keep the hums and whistles in my head from drawing my attention. That music goes off when testing TDM. I guess I'm particularly sensitive to whiny electronic noises, thus the request.

Thanks.
