Lowered volume for low speed tire noise on asphalt/tarmac and retarder sound.
AI traffic truck/bus horn sounds reworked for ETS2 and ATS. For variety, the ETS2 and ATS truck horns are different.
Refined engine sound for some of the AI traffic truck/bus sounds.
New wind/tree forest ambience when outside of cities. [ETS2 edition] Lowered volume of subtle rattle sound at high speed.
