About this mod
This mod replaces six types of idle sounds on most vanilla voices by silent ones; yawns, 'ahem', cough, clear throat, humming and sniffing
- Permissions and credits
yawning, 'ahem', coughing, clearing throat, humming and sniffing/snorting
They may add some 'life'... and immersion of course, but they are limited in numbers, six to be precise, three per each vanilla voice (with few exceptions). So when surrounded by many vanilla NPCs and followers, sometimes, it becomes a cacophony of these looping effects, even getting me too distracted, to put it mildly. In my case, I may have a dialogue overhaul somewhere that accentuate the repetition, and it drives me crazy.
So this mod is very simple, it only replaces these sounds by silent ones for both male and female vanilla voices, no ESP, nor ESM.
To be fully effective, load this mod after any voice overhaul one.
And a fair warning, this mod may lead to a less immersive experience to some, followers using vanilla voices for example...will be more absent when idle. But if you use few followers or locations having multiple NPCs with vanilla voices, and you are tired to hear those looping yawns and snorts, then this mod is for you.
I believe I caught every vanilla voices. I have not altered the children though, to me, a kid in Skyrim is exactly that, a sound factory, and if you are a Heartfire fan with adoptions, they may prove handy. I did not wish to over cross the boundaries of the immersion sanctity :P
I upload it only in SE, but should be compatible with any version and edition of Skyrim, as far as I know, "fuz" files work the same everywhere.
Table of the replaced sounds:
dialoguegeneric__0006aea8_1.fuz - Ahem/Clearing throat
dialoguegeneric__0006aeaa_1.fuz - Coughing
dialoguegeneric__0006aeab_1.fuz - Yawning
dialoguegeneric__0006aea7_1.fuz - Coughing
dialoguegeneric__0006aea9_1.fuz - Humming

Cheers!
