Anyway to have Defect Detector to be heard from a distance?

[TheTntExpert29]

So on Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 I have a route made and I am using the Dragging Equipment Defect Detectors from JointedRail for some reason I can't seem to hear the detector from a distance. Is there any way to fix it so i can hear the detector from the other side of the map like over 20 miles (Idk how big the map is but it's a good size map)?

I don't know, but there must be a way. There was a route some time back that had a sternwheeler steamboat in it and the dad gum banjo music played over the whole route, you couldn't get away from it! I finally looked up that asset and opened it for edit and deleted the sound file.

I think this can be done with a trackside object that has the defect-detector audio and script to trigger it.

What made me think of this are such things as the invisible horn sound track object. This is a green-colored track mark like object that plays the standard North American rail-road level crossing sequence. To see how this functions, you'll need to do a dissection of the objects and then combine the parts you need to create your own.

Have a look in the config of the detector. It should have a line for "sound radius" or similar. It can be edited to increase the distance or removed so you will hear it anywhere on the route.

Ok. I'm looking through the config fire of the detector I'm not seeing a line for sound radius. It also requires that Microtalker Defect Detector Library but can't find it in the config.

And to add to that yesterday I hoped on twice for route editing. First time it did not show Detector Volume but the Second time it did and whenever it shows Detector Volume Option I can't hear the detector from the other side of the map but when it's not on there I can hear it on the other side of the map.
