OK, looking for a way to stop the cricket sounds before I go insane, the bugs just won't stop at any point when I'm outside.

I tried using the fallout mod manager, and there are 20 individual sounds. Is there any way to nuke them without crashing the game, or mute them without say muting every other effect in the game?

It is very early in the release of the game - I am
sure someone will come up with a fix soon, If you
find a fix I would like to know also.

The "long way round" method would be to create audio files with the same length and filename as the crickets and replace them.

Unfortunately, it's not a sound file, it's part of the file "Fallout - Sound.bsa" so I have no idea how to replace the sounds in that.
