When I open/close a door, the ‘Sound’ info indicates 11. I’m assuming that a sound level 11 could be heard 11 squares away. That’s quite high, compared to steps (which produces sounds between 2 and 6) and melee fighting (which produces sounds between 5 and 8).
I understand that some doors (especially the old wooden ones) could make noises that loud, but I doubt that your standard run-of-the-mill door should be that noisy. I can see people on youtube playing C:DDA and their doors make a 5-level sound, so is doors making an 11-level sound normal? Does that sound level relate to what I’m wearing/wielding or to what the door is made of? Is my assumption of how the sound system works correct (and if not, how does it work)?
I’m playing build 8544, IIRC. I would be glad if someone could clear those misunderstandings to me.
EDIT: I’ve been playing more attention to doors and noted that not always the doors are that loud. Couldn’t figure the pattern yet, but it mostly stays in the range 6 to 11. 11 seems quite high, though.
