Exaggerate sound attenuation?

Ceak

Does anyone know a good way to exaggerate the sound attenuation? I am trying to make it extremely obvious (if you are paying attention) while playing my game that there is a hidden obstacle right in front of the character. Currently, I have the attenuation set to 1 (Default) and a max distance of 30 (which is about 4 tiles wide in my game). So on the far side, the player just faintly hears a noise, and when you are right next to the obstacle you hear it more clearly.

What I would like to have happen is on the far side the player barely hears anything, with much more clear volume increase points (for lack of better wording) up until the player is right next to the obstacle. I think the current setup leaves to much guesswork, "Am I one tile or two tiles away?"

Thank you.

Not sure about the attenuation thing, but I would try setting different attenuation values (for example 0.5 or 2.0) and see if that helps at all. Also it's good design to have visual cues as well since some players may be hard of hearing or completely deaf. Something to consider.

Try individual sound files with increasing volume?

@cybereality I tried messing with the values, did not work the way I would like. But thats a good point and I will work the visual cue in as well, thank you =)

@Mentiras I will see what I can do. Thank you.

Also, you can use an AudioStreamPlayer and change the volume_db yourself with whatever logic you want.
