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.
