What car is it specifically? Could be using a stereo .wav file

It's OnyxPL's Audi 80 specifically, the Quattro variant.

I had a look at the .soundscript file, found it uses the following .wav files:

• audi_idle_quattro.wav
• audi_2000_quattro.wav
• audi_4000_quattro.wav
• audi_5000_quattro.wav
• audi_6000_quattro.wav

They are all mono files.

I replaced the original idle wav with a "louder" one, but it sounds just the same, in game.

I was also wondering about the "gain_factors" in the soundscript file. After some googling, I'm guessing this is responsible for the pitch of the sound, not the loudness.

Any other suggestions?

Nevermind, I looked at another car, modified the soundscript file, and the gain_factors do control the loudness.

I want to understand how, why there are two values and what are some acceptable/reasonable values, but there is nothing on the Docs about this, yet. https://docs.rigsofrods.org/vehicle-creation/fileformat-soundscript/#gain_factors
