Greater sound controls

Please add more user control over their sound experience. Right now, even with all the sliders adjusted, I can hear music from the opposite side of the sim that I live in. Given that I live near an obnxous club that plays the same song ad naseum (sometimes the same stream multiple times - there should also be some protection against this also), it would go a long way towards helping my sanity if I could control whether or not I hear user sounds outside of my property - right now the range is way too large, even with the sliders adjusted.

I know I could mute the whole damn thing, but then I miss out on other sounds. I can also think of a store that has the most horrible sound looped over and over - it makes being anywhere near it rather annoying, and in that case I do mute the whole game or else I go crazy from the sound. If you don't add new controls, at least ratchet down the range of the sounds significantly - the range is ridiculously high right now (I can hear people typing or laughing that are nowhere near me - sometimes half way across the sim from me). Thank you.

Hopefully 1.1 will have the better sound control Nothing like focusing on something and hearing laughter around you and turn around to find nothing there and not seeing anyone in your immediate area. hehe quite freaky. I've also heard the avatar hitting the ground sound thinking someone was walking on my roof to find no one around.
