Steps To Reproduce
Easiest way (for me at least) to reproduce is either:
- Go into Editor - spawn as rifleman (so you have grenades).
- Throw them at an equal distance and far enough so as not to kill yourself, almost always 1 will be much louder to the point of being really uncomfortable to hear.
or
- Spawn as a civ.
- Spawn a Panther and some kind of opfor vehicle so that the Panther can just lob grenades at it. Very randomly the explosions will either be normal or again very uncomfortably loud.
Really, whether its in MP or SP this issue is reproducible.

Are you sure it is nothing to do with your sound system?
And what is the problem exactly? How loud they are or loudness being random as opposed to distance.
I would think grenades would have a pretty high decibel level in real life.

Please see the thread linked in this ticket. I have also updated it with new information.
"Hi guys, thanks for your input, anything helps ;)
I've been continuing with this and made an interesting discovery. I thought I'd try lowering Arma 3's volume in windows volume mixer to a fairly low value like 5 (from where it is normally at 30) and then adjust for the decrease in volume in Arma's sound options. Now, I could reproduce this issue pretty much consistently just starting the game, going into the editor and lobbing a few grenades which would give off really amplified explosion sounds and some that weren't. But with this little volume adjustment it at least seems to stop that from happening.
I can only hazard at a guess that the volume setting in windows is conflicting with Arma 3's and perhaps is causing sounds to 'double' (or something like that) in volume."
