Event Timeline
Along with other bug reports concerning Positional Audio, also think the choppers are too loud, preventing people from using voice chat or VON.
I think this also deals with balancing of sound, versus just bad positional audio issues. But I'm by far an audio expert.
I can tell you though, when a chopper is flying above me at 200-500 feet, I can still hear and speak just fine with others nearby. Chopper loudness is also dependent on the design of the aircraft engine, as older models without modifications will be much louder.
This bug will likely be closed as a duplicate of other Positional Audio bugs.
