Sound of flyby bullet totally unrealistic since Arma I
New, WishlistPublic

Description

I play every part of arma and i can say that sounds yoy have make is good enough. Sound of fly-by bullet (not hittin you, just missing at least 5 cm from your head) with 5-8mm sound definetly diferent, i heard it by myself (i putet link in additional info for nearest to real sound if it). Your sound is realistic but only for 12.7mm "cannon".

Here is how it should sound with all from 6 to 8mm rounds.
Please fix this, beacuse i almost getting heart attack when ai shoot to me every time.

It all depends on the size, speed and direction of the projectile...
A super sonic round travelling past you will make harsh high pitched cracking or ticking sound (like in game)

Rounds will only make a buzzing or whooshing (like your example links) when they slow down allowing the pressure waves to become longer thus generating lower frequencies, for example after a ricochet.

Even JSRS (best sound modification since ARMA I was maked this a little more loud and this is good way to fix this. A little bit less loud!

Tooday i was asking this real soldiers and no one even heard ArmA sound (click!). Thhey heard only whizz sounds. On trainings they was using 5.45 and 7.62 only

I have a friend who was in the army and has experienced the 'TICK' 'POP' 'CRACK' sound of supersonic rounds.
Also my granddad was a Royal Marine sniper in the Malayan emergency and he described the disturbing sound in detail.
I have also experienced the sound myself from high powered air rifles.

You can hear the sound of the rounds cracking over head in this video...
The microphone on the soldiers camera is really muffled so doesn't pick up the high frequencies being produced by the rounds, but in real life they would be ear shatteringly loud and harsh at close range...

The same basic acoustic physics apply to the sonic crack of a bullwhip...

The moving object/projectile is simply compressing the pressure waves closer together creating a higher frequency.

Today i was testing it again with 30mm cannon and i can surly say that this is loudest sound in this game and this should not happen. If you will spent some time on tests like mine you will have same opinion - thise sounds are 3x too loud! never heard any bullet so loud, all fly by sounds are too loud, its impossible!

Here is the sound how it should sounds like.

For now i can stay deaf after little fight with AI. BIS do something with it before your gamers will be deaf!
