It's not HDR. No dynamics.
Static normalize all sounds of game for session.
Just, like in graphical equalizer, we can have a 20 sliders band of levels any sounds.
If user shut down to zero all 20 adjusts, except #6, then no any sounds user can listen and hearing #6 (mosquito, whisper and equipping) only.
