## Description

This mod dynamically intercepts the original siren events via the Harmony Patch and mutes them.
 It also registers a separate FMOD container that contains a modified version of the game’s original sotf\_music\_radio.bank file. This modified .bank file preserves the developer’s original 3D sound effects and distance attenuation settings, while replacing the siren sound with an authentic U.S. Military Base Alarm.
 I have also stored separate dictionaries for each alarm, allowing them to be played or muted independently at the same time, just like in the original game.

 The alarm sound is taken from an actual alarm that was played during the DC military lockdown in mid-2021. I processed the audio, boosting it by 5 dB and removing the background noise.

 As mentioned earlier, because a separate FMOD container has been registered, this mod is fully compatible with custom radio music, so you don't need to make any changes to the radio music.
 You can actually customize the alarm sound to be any other sound (under 43 seconds) by simply modifying the sound file in alarm\_custom\_V2.bank.

 1.0.1 Added settings menu, along with hot-swap functionality and a volume control slider. It is important to note that the 3D effect is created by the game developer in FMOD; increasing the volume only raises the sound level when the player is within the listening range—it does not expand the listening range itself.

## Changelog 1.0.3 (2026-06-28)

Add a toggleable alarm loop feature.
