These audio files contain some popping and crackling as you walk on the surface of planets. While underground they do not generate. Seems to be from some sort of dampening while being in an enclosed area. While being on the surface the audio can propagate further(?), causing these audio blemishes.

I've gone through each of the 8 .WAV files with Audacity to see if I can alleviate some of the issue. Though with what I've tried I can't seem to make it any better. I believe it could be caused by how short duration they are and how frequent they play. Plus some of the audio in the files can be a bit jarring.

I've also tried adjusting <Volume>0.55</Volume> in a .scb mod. Although every attempt causes there to be no sound from walking or using any of the tools. So I'm out of ideas to fix it myself and there seems to be no other topic for this.

I'd assume that these audio inconsistencies are what is causing the mass amount of audio issues in the game. All the issues with Realist Sounds as well as with Arcade. Hopefully there can be an audio rework or something.
