[color=#B76832][size=6][b]Introduction[/b][/size][/color]
[color=#E5E2DC]
Imagine standing outside a [color=#6FA9C1]building[/color] while an [color=#D6A06B][b]explosion[/b][/color] goes off inside.
You wouldn't expect it to sound the same as if you were standing right next to it. [color=#6FA9C1]Walls[/color], [color=#6FA9C1]floors[/color] and other [color=#6FA9C1]obstacles[/color] naturally change the way [color=#D6A06B][b]sound travels[/b][/color], helping you understand where events are happening without even seeing them.[/color]
[color=#E5E2DC]
In [color=#6FA9C1]Fallout 4[/color], that sense of [color=#D6A06B][b]separation[/b][/color] is often missing. Many [color=#6FA9C1]explosions[/color], [color=#6FA9C1]gunshots[/color], [color=#6FA9C1]voices[/color] and other sounds remain surprisingly [color=#D6A06B][b]clear[/b][/color], even when several [color=#6FA9C1]walls[/color] or entire [color=#6FA9C1]buildings[/color] stand between you and their source. [/color][color=#E5E2DC][color=#6FA9C1][b]Acoustic Occlusion[/b][/color] restores that missing layer of [color=#D6A06B][b]immersion[/b][/color] by evaluating the [color=#6FA9C1]environment[/color] before a supported sound reaches the player.
[/color][color=#E5E2DC]
Instead of simply reducing [color=#D6A06B][b]volume[/b][/color], the mod determines what lies between you and the [color=#6FA9C1]sound source[/color] and calculates how much sound should realistically pass through.
[/color][color=#E5E2DC]
It even supports [color=#D6A06B][b]material detection[/b][/color]. Dense surfaces such as [color=#6FA9C1]concrete[/color] or [color=#6FA9C1]steel[/color] block significantly more sound than lighter materials like [color=#6FA9C1]wood[/color] or [color=#6FA9C1]glass[/color], resulting in much more [color=#D6A06B][b]natural[/b][/color] audio transitions.
[/color][color=#E5E2DC]
Whether you're hearing a [color=#6FA9C1]firefight[/color] behind a [color=#6FA9C1]wall[/color], a [color=#6FA9C1]radio[/color] inside another room, or an [color=#6FA9C1]explosion[/color] on the other side of a [color=#6FA9C1]building[/color], sounds now feel connected to the world around them instead of ignoring it.[/color]

The world doesn't just look believable.
It finally sounds believable too.
