    So I'm not the most active person on this site, I download my trainers and stay happy. But one thing that has always annoyed me is the loud sound the trainer makes. It usually is much louder than what ever I'm watching on youtube, vlc, spotify etc. This is a problem for several reasons. 1. I'm not living alone, and my office is right next to where the kids sleep. 2. I suffer from chronic cluster headaches, and between the cluster attacks I have a splitting headache (like a hangover) that usually gets worse with sudden loud noises. Usually I can make the pain go away somewhat if I keep my mind busy with something, music, exercise or gaming, but sudden loud noises is comparable to being hit in the head with a sledgehammer...

    I know I can adjust the volume of the trainer by using the built in volume mixer in windows, but the trainer won't pop up until you've activated it, meaning "TRAINER ACTIVATED!" gets shouted through my speakers unless I mute all sound. And then, if anything goes wrong, as it does from time to time, you have to restart the trainer and windows won't remember your setting for the trainer and you have to adjust the thing all over again.

    So my humble request, having no idea how hard it would be, is simply this: Please add a volume adjust or sound toggle on the trainers.

    PS: This comes off as a bit something, but truth be told, I really do enjoy what the trainers bring to certain games.

    I understand where you're coming from but I actually don't see the problem why you don't just mute all sounds (2 mouse clicks) until you activated the trainer in the game (main menu) then enable it back on and set the trainer sound volume lower then the rest. Or you switch on your speakers after you did this.

    It's not like you start a trainer every 5 minutes and need to jump back and forth between it.
    Good for health, bad for education.

    All of the trainers made and updated in the last year by Caliber have a MUTE function. Go to the settings tab of the trainer and check the box.

    You can also use the Windows sound control panel to change the volume (or mute) of individual programs running.

    I have to agree with the OP.
    I also suffer from Migraines, Cluster Migraines, Cluster headaches, and Sinus Headaches.
    And, even when I am not having a migraine, the Trainer Activated sound is very very loud.
    But, I used to have 5.1 speakers like that, and I just turned the sound down on it, then launched the trainer, then launched the game, then activated.
    I would then also get the VERY loud sounds of up to 9 Activated sounds. Plus all of the Deactivated and Trainer Deactivated sounds when you deactivate a setting, or control plus h to deactivate the whole trainer, then activate it again and reactivate everything else, for those times when a game needs to be Deactivated for reasons of the game picking up that something is wrong, or the trainer stops working and a deactivate then activate fixes it.
    This is harder to control ingame then just the speakers, as each game has its own sound level.
    And, while I VERY much appreciate the Mute function, that I just learned about right now, it doesnt help because sometimes you have to press a button 2 times to get the Activated message. In other words, we NEED to be able to hear when its activated or deactivated, all the times it does it, otherwise we might walk into a situation where the trainer or certain setting is just not on.

    But, I also get that you cant go back to old trainers to do this.
    Maybe with new trainers you guys n gals make?
    Or, the OP can do what I did, and buy a wireless headset. Corsair makes some very good ones, with very little lag, good sound, and cheaper than most premium headsets. And, they usually have a LARGE scroll wheel on them to turn the sound down, the back up, very fast its the reason I stick with Corsair, the large button for volume. I can just barely move my hand to make it less loud, then after everything is activated, I can barely move my hand to make it louder.

    Also, at the OP, you should not be playing games when you have any type of migraine. It makes it worse 98% of the time unless motion or light sensitivity isnt triggered. Usually a dark room, turn the AC up to make it cold, a cold pack on the eye, or eyes, or head, where the pain is most. Or, a very hot shower with the door closed so there is a lot of steam. The longer you can stay in the steam the better. And, Imitrex or even better MaxAlt-MLT. The MLT version you put under your tongue so it works faster than any other migraine pill, works well to try to stem the tide. I know. I can be down for 3 days because of a migraine, or cluster. They are terrible.
    Anywho, signing off. But I do support making the sound just a tiny bit less loud.

    We have not programmed the trainers to intentionally make the sound 40000x louder than any other system, app or game. You can mute it in Caliber's trainer and 0x90 will be adding it to his future trainers. That's the best I can offer other than setting the individual app sound level through your sound card software or windows sound control.
