[1.1.4.0] Gramophone is extremely loud for one tick

When using a workshop sound on the Gramophone item, activating the item to play the sound causes it to briefly play it at a very, very loud volume, before continuing to play at an expected volume. It doesn’t matter what volume you have set on the item.

In case it matters, I am on linux playing through proton.

Steps to Reproduce

Place the gramophone item.

Select a workshop sound. Looping music works best to demonstrate this since it starts playing with no delay.

Activate the gramophone.

What I expected to happen

The sound plays at a normal volume.

What happened

The sound is very loud for a moment.


Notes / Media

It seems like it is also ignoring Tower’s sound options during that brief window. It’s quite loud. It scared me.

It’s possible that what it’s actually doing is ignoring the game’s volume settings for that tick. I do keep my game volume pretty low.
