A few other threads in various area's brought me back to something Ive wanted for a long time. Advanced sound controls. Currently if you strap on your guitar, the sound will only travel so far before it falls off to nothing. The range isnt very far. I want the ability to blast my guitar sounds to the very edges of my property if I so desire, so that anyone on my property can hear it, even if my property is an entire ISLAND SIM. Control over sound distance on ones own land, terminating at the border. Maybe a sound slider on its edit menu. This would also help those who want rainfall effects, bird noises, ect without having to place sound cubes every ten feet all over town. In addition, Ive always wanted a way to extend my chat radius without having to use the SHOUT button everytime. Say your giving a speech to a small crowd, and your taking questions from that crowd. You could set the chat radius in that given area to accomodate the size of the crowd. Those within that radius could hear each other, but others outside the radius would not. This system would only work on land you own, so the griefing potential is eliminated.

There are alot of reasons why not, here are 2:

A) Griefers. Woot, now i'll hear the "Boo!" griefing object a sim far - Like 96m away in my favorite isn't enough >_>.

B) The sound system is user-defined. I defined it to make sounds sound much better and more realistic - look in Preferences -> Audio & Video.
