Intellibox II can program Tsunami sound decoder
#4
I do the same Reinhard, particularly at home, volume down for home use, at a club where the room is bigger, and more people are talking it goes up, but it just adds a fun dimension to operating a (switching layout). Use things (if available) like air let off on brakes, coupler clank, horn and bell (although that is also one item I usually turn right down as it too can become very irritating very quickly), and the rumble of an engine in the background.
If the decoder (the full versions of Tsunami do) have EQ settings, I usually turn the high frequencies right down, as they are the most piercing, and the small speakers tend to over emphasize these anyway.

Once you feel brave enough, try out a ESU decoder. Have it programmed by your dealer (so you don't have to buy their programmer for sound files) with the sound file you want, and you will have low speed running of a similar quality as a Zimo or Lenz decoder, without the tedious set up that is sometimes needed to get a Tsunami decoder to behave :-)

PS: If things get a little overbearing, press F8, and on most decoders this mutes the sounds all together for a bit of peace and tranquility :-)
