Music is quieter on the third level

[UglyMonsterFace]

Did everybody but me already know that the music is noticeably quieter on the third level cliffs on your island?? I just found this out today! Is this old news to you?

I already knew that, but only because someone said it in the TIL tread, haha :'D

I only found out because someone was complaining about hating the music so they made their whole island be on the third level so they wouldn't really hear it XD

I learned this the first day I got the ladder, only because I have my volume cranked up pretty high. It's a nice touch.

I have no sound, so this is news to me.

By choice? Or did something happen?

Yes, I remember I noticed it a while back when I had to vault over to the other side of my island which had the upper hills. I think it was more obvious when we had the starting game music since you listen to it for constant hours, so any slight change is pretty easy to detect.

It's the little details like these that I love about the game.

Like what rubombee said this is "TIL", in fact i tested it out, but couldn't notice a difference at first due to the waterfalls nearby.

I use a monitor. It has no speakers.

I think it's explained by the fact that lorewise the in-game island background music is implied to come from the Resident Service building itself (you upgrade the building and you unlock the hourly music). The building is always on the bottom level, so as you move up elevations, you're getting higher and further from the sound. That's why the volume is lower.

I didn't think of this but it makes so much sense!

I also noticed this recently the closer you are to your Resident service building louder it is and then moving away from it the music gets quieter.

 

[Sloom]

the music is almost completely faded when you walk on the beach too!

 

[SpiritofAce]

Yeah, I wish it wasn't.
