Doppler Effect

I made this whistle for the Big Boy a while ago, and while it plays in game, there is no Doppler effect or distancing. No matter how close or far away it is, it is always just as loud and prominent. Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? If need be, I'll upload the files.

(Yes, I do believe they are mono)

Check again if they are mono.

I think it has to be 16-bit, not 32-bit.

Strange ... maybe something wrong in the audio control blueprint. Have you checked the attenuation start and end distances?

uh... I have no Idea what that is. Maybe I could just upload/send the files to someone who could help?

Same issue with the E-bell that I sent DTG for the ACS-64. What exactly are the requirements for the Doppler effect to work again? It has to be in mono and 16-bit?

Yes, and 44,100Hz (that's what I use for all my sounds where Doppler is needed).

As far as I can tell, everything is the way it should be, but yet I still just get no doppler or distance. I'd just upload the files, but it's a wav and I can't upload here.

You zip it and you can't post it? Is it over two megs zipped?

Changing the parameters to mono, 16 bit, and 44,100 hz works charms:

I uploaded the upgrade pack to the file library already. Thanks a ton guys :)
