    Title: Weather & Nature SFX do not extend inside of buildings far enough/smoothly
    Reproduction Rate:100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: There appears to be distinct line where weather and nature SFX, such as thunder, rain, waves, etc - are muted - instead of extending further into the nearby buildings - IMHO they should fade in/out more gracefully. Also, very loud sounds such as THUNDER should always be partially audible from inside NPC buildings, player housing, etc for more realistic ambience and dramatic effect, possibly utilizing the Unity sound engine for DSP and FX - if it has one. (I think it does, I could have sworn I heard some reverb in a cave or twice)
    Steps to Reproduce: This LOC seems to be the point for this particular building, for example, in Northwood, where the SFX toggle off/on -- during a thunder and lightning storm, observe the behavior.

    bonus points for rain making rain audible on the top floor of a house, whether or not it is on lower floors!
