So, I sometimes have issues with the sounds of a particular module that are too high pitched, and with my G2 there is not a lot of adjustments you can make out of the box. Big shout out to @Baracus250 for pointing me in the right direction.
I downloaded Equalizer APO, Room EQ Wizard, and a sound meter app for my phone. You need some kind of microphone to use Room EQ Wizard. I have the Zoom F1 Recorder with a Zoom LMF-2 microphone that plugs into a USB port on my PC.
Start WMR so the headset is working and the speakers are enabled. You want WMR running when you install Equalizer APO so you can select the correct output, otherwise run the Configurator App again. Set it upside down on the desk in front of you (ie. not resting on the speakers) I attached the mic to the headset strap so I could prop it up directly between the speakers.
You record the ambient sounds of the room with the sound meter to get Room EQ Wizard setup initially. I have a fan pointed at me to keep the headset from steaming up, so make sure you turn on any addition fans for the sound meter recording. There are great tutorials for this on the website. Then I followed the instructions for saving a filter configuration for export to Equalizer APO. They have an excellent tutorial for this on the APO website under Getting Started.
Then you include the filter you created with Room EQ Wizard into the config file for APO, and you can adjust the equalizer to your liking. For me, I like to bump up the base response and reduce the high end.
This setup allowed me to “fix” the sounds of aircraft that have high pitched engine sounds. Worked great! I hope this helps!

So, I did a little experiment with a sound meter on my phone. According to experts on the web, prolonged exposure to sound levels of 70 decibels and higher can cause hearing damage. The room where I sim has a background of around 26-30 decibels. With my computer and desk fan going it’s around 50 decibels. With Windows at 100% volume and the sim at 100% volume I launched my Waco YMF5 and put the phone receiver where my ear would be beside the headset speaker. With both at 100% I get a around 70db with headphone simulation on. With Windows at 100% and the sim at 60% I get around 60 decibels. With Windows at 60% and the sim at 100% I get around 55 decibels.
You can download a simple sound meter app on your phone to run your own tests.
If you are not a sound engineer, I should point out that if the room is filled with 50 decibels of sound energy, your sound system only needs to produce 50 decibels. In other words, if you don’t want to hear your case fans and desktop fan, set the volume to match the room volume. If you can still hear the fans, tweak it until the sim volume is just above the room volume.
I have both windows and the sim volumes at 45 % now, and I don’t hear the fans.
Whilst it won’t help if sounds not coming out I wanted a little bit more from the reverb g2 headphones and despite scouring the web found very little. I decided to spend £9 on a couple of upgradable earphone cups which are in the link below.
I’ve fitted these and as you can see they look and work very well, it actually enhances a sound produced by the earphones and helps to isolate it.
Mainly for use in vr with msfs
