I thrust up to 300 m/s and the thruster effects play as normal. However, when I let go of the throttle and turn off dampeners, I still hear the thruster effects. Sometimes if I reverse thrust for a second it seems to fix it - but only at low speeds? Other times I have done so and then don't get any thruster sounds at all in some directions? It's really weird and I'm not entirely sure what's going on with it, but the one thing I do know for sure is that thruster effects are not going away when I stop thrusting if I'm at a high velocity, and it is extremely annoying.
Reproduction steps: get in a ship - I was specifically using the first hydrogen ship you repair in survival - and turn off dampeners, fly it to max speed, and let go of the thrust. At least for me, the thruster effect still plays, very consistently.
Let me know if there's any other info I can provide to fix this.
My specs are:
CPU: ryzen 7 3700x
Graphics Card: RX 7800 XT.
I have the same bug
This happens to me pretty much anytime I land or dock, even on voxel. The thrusters sound like they're firing nonstop which is super fatiguing to listen to nonstop. Happens with both landing gear and connectors.

I have this one. Not sure if it's relevant, but I put the thrusters in a group and turned them off. I was still getting thruster sounds while next to the ship.
My Notes: it wasnt all the time but every 2-4 times I got in and out of the Hydrogen Ship "Sledge". It would drop frame rates and the engine would get laggy. I couldn't get it to dispel the sound until I went back into my ship, cycled the engines and jumped out again.
My hunch: (Fwiw) I'm betting there's a "On Exit" for the cockpit that is a on/off setup for the thruster sound that doesn't check to see if the engines are off first. On exit, Thrusters are Off, it cycles the sound to On. I found the most issues when I would manually turn off the thrusters (though that wasn't every time, it was the majority of the time).
side note: would be cool to have practically no sound for thrusters except for bass rumblings in space since there is functionally no sound in space unless there's air to move the sound...

The idle hydrogen thruster sound which sounds more like full accelleration really irks me. And since there's no hud bar way to toggle thrusters on and off I can't get them to shut up without turning off the ship (and survival block) with Y.

When I dock to a station my ship sounds like it is at full throttle.

I second (third?) this. It seems its maybe a large thruster thing, as if i go forwards in the pre-fabbed hydro ship with dampners off and hear the persistent noise, if i press left or right it goes away. It is extremely annoying though. Also heard while docked as op says.

I am playing a few of the longer distance missions, so I am using the typical space flight technique of turning off dampeners, thrusting up to a specific speed - in this case max of 1080 since I am going around the planet Verdure - and then stopping the hydrogen thrusters to coast for a distance before turning on dampeners to use thrust to reduce speed. The amount and volume of the ship's thrusters seems to be linked to the speed of the ship and not whether or how long the thrusters have been on.
I'm using this maneuver to conserve hydrogen fuel and avoid the costly maneuver of flying through the atmosphere.
What I'm expecting is the thrusters to be firing and increasing to a max while I'm increasing speed, then turn off and reduce volume to idle while I'm coasting, then be firing and increasing to a max while I'm reducing speed after turning the dampeners back on.

Further notes on this noise. I have flown to the excavation mission and just landed. I tend to turn my ship off to conserve fuel, since the hydrogen thrusters seem to always be consuming fuel even when idle. (I miss the configurable ships controls so I could just turn off the thrusters and not the whole ship at the press of a key.)
While flying to the outpost, once I was in the atmosphere I used dampeners to slow my speed to a stop. I didn't hear the thrusters firing while hovering. I was up about 8 km from the site, so rather than consume fuel by using the C key, I turned off dampeners and just simply dropped for about 2 km.
While dropping, the ship speed increased, but the ship/thruster noise did NOT increase while falling. When I turned back on dampeners, the thrusters fired and I heard the whine down volume of thrusters firing as the speed was reduced.
I repeated this a few more times to confirm this behavior.
This feels more correct to me for the most part, other than the thrusters missing the constant low hum of thrust while hovering.

Same here, turning off damps does not seem to stop it either so it's not the superdampeners.

I'm having the same issue. My ship is docked to a connector, and all thrusters are off, like I went into the control panel and turned them all of. Inertial dampeners are off as well. The thruster noise still persists though.

I have encountered exactly the same issue. I reported (Or here is the case) it here as well and attached a video demonstrating the error.

Only thing that stops it that i have found while landed is pressing Y to shut the whole ship down. :(

Yes, I face this issue all the time as well! The engines produce a noise that sounds exactly like full thrust mode is engaged, even though they’re completely inactive. It’s quite perplexing and rather annoying to deal with.

Have the same, soooo annoying.

By the same token, ships that have been powered down make a powering-down sound when you come back into range.

It reminds me an audio option in SE1 where you can choose between Arcade and Realistic sounds.
For now, SE2 seems to be only in Arcade sounds mode so the thruster sounds is based on ship velocity instead of thrust rate.
I hope this option will be back on SE2. I really loved how sound propagation was rendered in SE1 Realistic sounds mode.

Hello Engineers,
The sound of thrusters while flying is tied to speed, as such, thrusters will produce sound with dampeners on and off - this is intended behavior.
Thrusters sounds playing while a Grid is locked either through Landing Gear or Connector is an issue that is already fixed on our internal environments and should be shipped as a part of VS2.2 release.
As such, I will close this thread. Happy Engineering!
