|------------------------------------------------ Questions -----------------------------------------------|

Spoiler: 0 - How do I make a custom preset
Important: All presets are made inside the sirenmod.zip file for more versatility, but this comes at a cost any mod update will remove your presets, so make sure to save them somewhere!

Video tutorial: (Pause the video if it's going too fast)

Text tutorial:

First step open the sirenmod.zip file and go to presets, duplicate the .Default.json file and rename it to the name of your preset. For example: My Custom Preset.json

Then, open the file you just create and modify the path of the sounds.

Sounds are located in sirenmod.zip/art/sound/

So let's say you want to add duck.ogg sound, put the sound in sirenmod.zip/art/sound/mysound/duck.ogg and inside the preset json file you gonna put "sound": "mysound/duck.ogg".

Note: wav sounds also work, I guess other sounds work but I don't have a list of compatible formats.

Spoiler: 1 - The sound is too loud or too quiet ! How can I change the volume ?
BeamNG.drive volume management is not in pair with engines volumes, which means that if you put your in-game volume to 100, sirens are going to be very loud and engine not so much. But if you put your in-game volume to 5, sirens will be very quiet compared to engines.

To fix this issue, simply set your in-game volume to 50 (or any volume that gives you a good balance between engines and sirens) and then change the game's volume using Windows Volume Mixer

Note that this issue can't be fixed until the game's fmod engine can be modded

Spoiler: 2 - Help the mod doesn't work !
You need to restart the game at least 1 time to get the mod working. (install mod / start / restart and it work)

If you the mod was disabled and you enabled it, you have to restart the game overwise the mod won't work

Spoiler: 3 - Help I have fatal vehicle error !
Try to clear the cache of the game.

Sometimes problems are caused by incompatibility with other mods! So, try to uninstall all other mods except this one and then, if it turns out to be working, reinstall them 1 by 1 to find which one is causing issues.

Spoiler: 4 - The sound is crackling when I'm going fast
This is due to the type of sound that I use for the sirens

This bug can't be fixed until the game's fmod engine can be modded

However you can reduce the issue by increasing your sound quality in game's sounds settings

Spoiler: 5 - Siren sound isn't centered in first person
I will fix this issue when as soon as I find a fix, for now I'm still trying to find one, sorry for the issue

Spoiler: 6 - I'm on BeamMP and I don't have siren on my custom / modded vehicle!
See How to use -> UI apps -> Sound Selector

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Improved Siren Mod by jojos38. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on the BeamNG.drive repository on 3 October 2026: https://www.beamng.com/resources/improved-siren-mod.16811/

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on beamng.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements

BeamNG.drive on a current build. The repository lists a mod as outdated once it stops loading, but a mod written for an older release can still misbehave quietly rather than fail outright — check the resource page for the author's own compatibility note before reporting a fault.

Nothing else is required unless the author says so above. BeamNG mods are self-contained zip archives; there is no loader or framework to install first.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page. Do NOT unzip it — BeamNG loads mods as zips.

2. Put the zip in your mods folder:

Windows — Documents\BeamNG.drive\\mods

Linux — ~/.local/share/BeamNG.drive//mods

3. Start the game and open the Mod Manager from the main menu to confirm it is listed and active.

4. Vehicles appear in the vehicle selector; maps appear under Freeroam.

UPDATING

Delete the old zip before adding the new one. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is the usual cause of a vehicle appearing twice, or of parts that will not fit together.

IF SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG

Clear the cache: in the Mod Manager, use "Clear cache and restart". Most oddities after an update — missing textures, parts that vanish — are a stale cache rather than a broken mod.

This release downloads from beamng.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
