[New Feature]: Reduce the Distance of Sounds #11661

Describe the feature request

I'd like it if the distance welding, computer clicking and other sounds are reduced by about half the distance. It is VERY difficult to for example weld into a room, even if people don't have line of sight, they can hear it very far away. Might not make sense realistically, but it is very annoying as an antagonist to never have any ideal private area unless it is 20+ meters away from any high-traffic area which on some maps is near impossible especially on Rad Station and partly on Meta Station.

I had a similar thought recently actually, though what I was more thinking about was a heretic void item that could reduce the distance of sounds (so kinda unrelated). Either way there are certain things that should be tuned, sounds going through walls should have a lesser distance. Perhaps a non-linear curve would be better too so that people with loud volumes can't hear things from halfway across the map with how distinctive our sounds are.
